ARTICLE IX. 

That the general, great and essential principles of liberty and 
free government may be recognized and unalterably established, 
WE DECLARE, 

Sect. I. That all men are born equally free and independent, 
and have certain inherent and indefeasible rights, among which are 
those of enjoying and defending life and liberty, of acquiring, pos¬ 
sessing and protecting property and reputation, and of pursuing 
their own happiness. 

Sect. II. That all power is inherent in the people, and all fiee 
governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their 
peace, safety and happiness : For the advancement of those ends, 
they have, at all times,an unalienable and indefeasible right to alter, 
reform, or abolish their government, in such manner as they may 
think proper. 

Sect. III. That all men have a natural and indefeasible right to 
worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their own con¬ 
sciences ; that no man can, of right, be compelled to attend, erect, 
or support any place of worship, or to maintain any ministry against 
his consent; that no human authority can, in any case whatever, 
control or interfere with the rights of conscience; and that no pre¬ 
ference shall ever be given, by law, to any religious establishments 
or modes of worship. 

Sect. IV. That no person who acknowledges the being of a God 
and a future state of rewards and punishments, shall, on account of 
his religious sentiments, be disqualified to hold any office or plaee 
of trust or profit under this commonwealth. 

Sect. V. That elections shall be free and equal. 

Sect. VI„ That trial by jury shall be as heretofore, and the right 
thereof remain inviolate. 

Sect. VII. That the printing presses shall be free to every per¬ 
son, who undertakes to examine the proceedings of the legislature 
or any branch of government: and no law shall ever be made to 
restrain the right thereof. The free communication of thoughts 
and opinions is one of the invaluable rights of man ; and every 
citizen may freely speak, write and print on any subject, being re¬ 
sponsible for the abuse of that liberty. In prosecutions for the 
"publication of papers, investigating the official conduct of officers,

or men in a public capacity, or where the matter published is proper

tion. 

Sect. IX. That in all criminal prosecutions, the accused hath a 
right to be heard by himself and his counsel, to demand the nature 
and cause of the accusation against him, to meet the witnesses face 
to face, to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his 
favor, and in prosecutions by indictment or information, a speedy 
public trial by an impartial jury of the vicinage : That he cannot 
be compelled to give evidence against himself, nor can he be depri¬ 
ved of his life, liberty or property, unless by the judgment of his 
peeis or the law of the land. 

Sect. X. That no person shall, for any indictable offence, bo 
proceeded against criminally by information; except in cases arising 
in the land or naval forces, or in the militia when in actual service 
in time of war or public danger; or by leave of the court for op¬

nent citizens. However unworthy I must feel myself, to be asso¬ 
ciated with the illustrious names which form the roll of Presidents 
of Conventions, it cannot but be felt as a high honor to have a place 
in the same list with them. It is deeply felt to be so, and I beg you 
to accept for it my most sincere acknowledgments. 

The subjects we are to deliberate upon, are of no ordinary charac¬ 
ter. It is not an exaggeration, to say that they are of transcendant 
importance. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was one of the 
first, if not the very first, to imitate the example of the whole peo¬ 
ple of the United States, in taking down the fabric of government 
which had been provided amidst the exigences of a new and dis¬ 
turbed state of existence, and in replacing it by a solid structure, de¬ 
liberately formed, and intended to give permanent security to all the 
rights of every member of the community. At the end of fifty years, 
the system of social order which was then framed, is committed to 
our hands, that we may examine it, and, if need be, propose to our 
fellow-citizens such improvements as this great fundamental law may 
seem to require. Such a work, it must be acknowledged, demands 
die utmost exertion of wisdom—exemption, as far as possible, from 
tlie influence of prejudice and passion, and every disturbing motive-— 
and, withal, a spirit of pure and generous patriotism, which seeks 
no other gratification than to promote the lasting happiness of those 
who are, and those who are to be the inhabitants of this great and 
favored Commonwealth. 

A constant sense of the magnitude of the duty w'e are called to 
perform, and of the grave accountability we are under for its faithful 
performance, cannot fail to produce calmness and order in our deli¬ 
berations ; while, at the same time, a becoming seriousness, with 
mutual kindness and respect, will be an earnest to our fellow-citi¬ 
zens of the singleness of purpose with which we follow the path of 
that great duty, and, with the blessings of a gracious Providence 
upon our counsels, the best means of accomplishing good results. 

To the utmost of my humble powers, I promise to co-operate with 
you in whatever will tend to give character and efficacy to our pro¬ 
ceedings. With but little aid from experience, I am very sensible 
of my deficiencies, and how much I stand in need of your continual 
indulgence and support. My hope, and my belief is, that they will 
be liberally extended to unintentional error; and further than this, 
you may be assured there will be no claim. 

Pardon me for detaining you a moment longer, to express to you 
my heartfelt wish that all who are here assembled may, to the last 
day of their lives, have cause to rejoice in the acts of this Conven¬ 
tion, with a firm conviction that they have done nothing to weaken 
the foundations of human freedom and happiness. 

A motion was made by Mr. Iliester, 

That when this Convention adjourns, it will adjourn to meet again 


CONVENTION OF 1837. 


43 


May 2 

to-morrow morning, at ten o’clock, and that the hour of meeting 
daily be ten o’clock, A. M., until otherwise ordered.

Mr. President —Before proceeding to the business of the Con¬ 
vention this morning, allow me to remark, that although there is a 
very full attendance of the delegates, elected by the people, on the 
4th November last, to prepare and propose amendments to the con¬ 
stitution of the state, there is one absent, and one who never can he 
here ; one who on the day of the election, which made you, sir, and 
every gentleman <>n this floor, with one exception, the gentleman 
who fills his place,, members of this Convention, had as fair a pros¬ 
pect of being here as any one now present; one who could not have 
been detained by light and trivial causes from being here this day, 
if in being , but who submissively bowing to the will of omnipotence , 
said, as his relatives and friends individually say, in relation to his 
loss, “ the will of my God be done.” I will be understood to mean 
Dan Caldwell, of Union county. 

It is not my purpose to eulogize Mr. Caldwell, but I may be 
allowed to state, that in all the relations of life, in addition to 
being affectionate and kind, lie was active, energetic and useful, 
upright in his deportment, a good citizen and an honest man ; 
therefore, 

Resolved , That the Convention, as a token of their regard for 
the memory of Dan Caldwell, allow this notice of his death to be 
put upon their journal. 

And on motion, 

The said resolution was read a second time, considered and 
adopted. 

A motion was made by Mr. Ingersoll, arid read as follows, viz: 

Resolved , That the Secretary of the Commonwealth be requested 
to communicate to this Convention, the number of all the judges, 
justices of the peace, aldermen, and other judicial officers of this 
commonwealth, together with, their respective salaries, perquisite?, 
and official emoluments, and tlm dates of their respective appoint¬ 
ments, as far as the same may be ascertained or estimated, so as to 
show the cost of the administration of justice in the state. 

And that the Treasurer of the Commonwealth be requested no 
communicate to this Convention, a complete view of the expend*-

CONVENTION OF 1837. 


$85 


MONDAY, May 22, 1837. 


Oq leave given, 

A motion was made by Mr. Hiester, and read as follows viz; 

Resolved , That the minutes of the proceedings in the committee of 
the whole be read every morning, immediately after the reading of 
the journal of the proceedings of the Convention, unless the same 
shall be dispensed with by a vote of the Convention. 

And on motion, 

The said resolution was read a second time, considered and 
adopted. 

A motion was made by Mr. Earle, and read as follows, viz : 

Whereas, some members of this body are desirous of discussing 
the question of the extent and ultimate limits of the powers of this 
Convention. And whereas, such question, however interesting 
and instructive abstractedly considered, has no necessary nor proper 
connexion with the discussion of the amendments reported bv the 
standing committees, inasmuch as the power to propose those 
amendments to the people is entirely undisputed. And whereas, 
it would be highly inexpedient to consume the time of this body, 
during its regular sessions, upon subjects of a speculative nature, 
before agreeing on the principal practical reforms which were con¬

CONVENTION OF 1837 . 


193 


Mr. Ingersoll, from the minority to whom were referred the sub¬ 
jects of the currency, corporations, the public highways and eminent 
domain of the state, made the following report, viz : 

The minority of the special committee to whom was referred the 
kindred subjects of currency and corporations, respectfully report: 
That each of these subjects deserves a full and distinct exposition. 
But the information of this Convention, the practical intelligence of 
the community, and the special warning of this deplorably instruc¬ 
tive crisis, render much argument unnecessary. They submit amend¬ 
ments to the constitution on each of these subjects, with the follow¬ 
ing explanations. 

First > Of the currency: When the present constitution of this 
commonwealth was adopted, the currency of all these confederated 
states, had already been confided to the general government, which 
is empowered by the federal constitution to regulate commerce, as 
well foreign as among the several states, to coin money, regulate the 
value thereof, and punish counterfeiting it. By that constitution 
likewise, the states surrendered all power to coin money, emit bills 
of credit, or make any thing but gold and silver a tender in payment 
of debts. 

Sore from the evils of paper money which the exigences of the 
revolution extorted, the funding of whose greatly depreciated obliga¬ 
tions, was one of the first causes of discontent and division between 
the speculating and substantial classes of the new American nation, 
any other standard of value than the precious metals, was earnestly 
deprecated at the outset of American government, by all the prudent, 
the patriotic, and the industrious, and was supposed to be guarded 
against by adequate provisions. For there is no other standard.—• 
There can be none. Every attempted substitute is delusive, if not 
fraudulent; a snare by which industry, morality, private property 
and public prosperty all suffer alike. The effort to coin money out 
of paper is as absurd as alchymy. Nothing can make a promise on 
paper to pay a dollar equal to the actual payment of a dollar: and 
whenever the promise is by law made equal to the fact, the promiser 
thus privileged unjustly gains at the expense of all others not so 
privileged. Great commercial operations are doubtless accommoda¬ 
ted by the use of paper as the substitute for coin ; and the credit 
system, as it is called, has its commercial conveniences. But all 
paper not immediately convertible into coin is of no value; and its 
credit is merely fictitious. The use of it is like substituting ardent 
spirits for solid food as the sustenance of life. It intoxicates and 
ruins. The reason now much urged against hard money, since 
paper has been striving to supplant it, that there is not enough for a 
circulating medium, is the very reason for its being the exclusive 
standard. It is their scarcity that renders gold and silver the only 
true money. Iron is more valuable for the useful arts than either of 
them ; but because it is too plentiful, therefore, it is not a standard: 
and so whenever money is so plentiful as to depreciate, it becomes 

17

an evil. If a pair of shoes cost one hundred dollars of continental 
money, it is more inconvenient to both seller and buyer, than if they 
cost one dollar in silver; and if that dollar be reduced to gold, it is 
still a greater accommodation. Gold is better than silver, silver than 
copper, and copper than paper, because of their relative scarcity; so 
that no scarcity of gold and silver affords any reason for superseding 
them by a paper circulation. The shocking vicissitudes of an uncon¬ 
vertible paper medium are but too familiar to all experience. They 
have cost this country more than all its wars. They were the great¬ 
est difficulty of the revolution ; and they are at tills moment the 
most oppressive by far of all the public burthens. They have caus¬ 
ed a calamitous convulsion. 

Accordingly, the constitution of this state, that of all the other 
states and of the Union of the w T hole, are all predicated of a metallic 
currency, and all the fundamental acts of Congress concerning the 
impost and the mint, in short, the whole groundwork of the Federal 
government is entirely laid on that foundation ; and the paper super¬ 
structure since raised, whether by the several states or the United 
States, is an unforeseen usurpation. When the first Secretary of the 
Treasury, after a struggle still severer than that which' introduced 
the stocks of the funding system, superadded the fiscal conveniences 
of a national bank, he did not design or expect a paper currency to 
take the place of gold and silver. On the contrary, public records., 
the laws, treasury reports and other state papers of that period, attest 
that gold and silver, and ready convertable paper, were the only 
acknowledged circulation. 

The Bank of North America, re-established by a law of Pennsyl¬ 
vania before the present constitution, after its charter had been an¬ 
nulled by laws both of the United States and this state, was the only 
American bank at that time, unless there was one other in New 
England, of which your committee are not precisely informed ; there 
were in effect no banks. But soon after the establishment of a Bank 
of the United States, a new and unapprehended experiment was 
made by the incorporation of State banks, which have since contin¬ 
ually increased in numbers and issues, till their paper has become 
nine-tenths of the circulating medium, and at last expelled gold and 
silver from circulation. The prevailing opinion lias been that their 
notes, when not made legal tender, are legal currency, and the Su¬ 
preme court of the United States having lately so determined, we 
must deal with them as such. 

Thus, since that constitution was adopted, which this convention 
is to revise, a power unprovided for by it, and no part of its frame 
of government, a power which controls value and regulates price, 
unforeseen by either federal or state constitution, has grown upon both 
constitutions, become one of our most important institutions, and 
demands the serious consideration of a body convoked to re-organ¬ 
ize a government to be submitted to the people for their approbation. 
This power is not only a direct emanation of the sovereignty, but 


CONVENTION OF 1837 . 


195 


May 23 

that portion of it which government hitherto has seldom, if ever, 
parted with. It is one of its highest, if not inalienable attributes. 
The value of all property depends upon this power, the wages of 
industry are fixed by it. Agriculture, commerce and manufactures, 
all tile useful arts, the comforts of life, and the common welfare, the 
public loans, debts and credit are under its control. The condition 
of the currency regulates the condition of every thing else. The 
currency is the life’s blood of the body politic, which cannot be 
healthy, but when that is sound, and must be disordered whenever 
that is diseased. 

Fortunately for the regulation of the currency, the simple truth is 
practically familiar to every laborer, to every child, that bank notes, 
when not forthwith convertible into gold and silver, are good for 
nothing. Your committee feel painfully relieved from the necessity 
of proving this reality, by the prevailing recurrence of one of those 
periodical convulsions which have grown in frequency and intensity 
with the spread of the paper system. If public sentiment should 
advance as rapidly for a short time to come, as it has for a short time 
past, toward a correct understanding of this subject, the evil, though 
deeply rooted, will be at least much alleviated, if not altogether re¬ 
moved. At this moment the farmers, mechanics, and others, who 
rely on industry and property, without dealing in false credit, or trus¬ 
ting to paper facilities, are free from trouble, with plenty of hard 
money. The rate of interest is moderate among them, and they 
scarcely feel the storm raging in the provinces of speculation, while 
there is intense distress, wherever banks, stocks, credit and specula¬ 
tion predominate. Panic and politics exaggerate the suffering; but 
there is no doubt much of it: many deserving a better fortune, are 
involved in the ruin of those, who, without either property or indus¬ 
try gambled..on borrowed credit, and are now the most clamorous, as 
they are the least deserving, to be relieved, instead of imputing 
their difficulies to false credit, they charge them to government, 
whose only misconduct has been, that both the states and the United 
States did not sooner interfere and more strenuously urge the resto¬ 
ration of the metallic currency. For the calamities and the com¬ 
plaints of 1819 were just like the present, and those of 1825 much 
the same, and so they will continue while ever the sovereignty is 
shared with a few interested individuals, whether sole or incorpora¬ 
ted, enjoying the power of substituting paper for coin, and making 
every thing plenty or scarce, as such individuals choose. 1 his is 
the cause, the great and only original, and the prevailing cause ol all 
the trouble. There may be aggravations of it; your committee are 
not disposed to deny that the peculiar fiscal condition and the cor¬ 
responding acts of the federal government, may not have increased 
the suffering; but those acts are as indispensable as medical treat¬ 
ment to a violent distemper: the real cause ol complaint is, that such 
interference was put off so long. Nothing but government resu¬ 
ming the sovereign powers of regulating currency which has been

•usurped from it, can ever permanently cure the disorders the cur¬ 
rency suffers, in which resumption the states are called upon to per¬ 
form a most important part, since it is now settled, that State bank 
notes are lawful money. 

The intimate commercial relations between the United States and 
Great Britain, which by the immense cotton trade, and other con¬ 
nexions, render ihat country and this almost one commercial nation, 
have aggravated the present convulsion by the involvement of the 
English banking and commercial interests with ours. The bank of 
England, with government sanction, disclosed, forty years ago, the 
perilous secret that banks may dispense with hard money, and sub¬ 
stitute a paper credit, which fora time, will seem to be prosperity,— 
the prolific source of ultimate debt, confusion and distress. Pos¬ 
sessed of that secret, our banks have followed their example in 
pushing the paper system to a despotic supremacy, till, like all des¬ 
potisms, w r e see it at this crisis, fallen to pieces by its own over¬ 
action. The banks of England and of this country, united last year 
in stimulating over-trading, the invaluable result of over issues, till 
our importations of their merchandise exceed, by sixty millions or 
more, our means to pay for them; while scarcely less than this sum 
of debt was adventured by bank borrowers, in speculatjo'ns at home, 
from Wisconsin to New Orleans, in every thing real and personal, 
that could be bought and monopolized. No law can create capital 
at a stroke, which is the slow growing offspring of industry and 
liberty alone; But discount banks, counterfeit capital, the stimulant 
of morbid and mischievous speculation, more intoxicating than all 
the intemperence to which men are addicted, and more disastrous 
than all the vice and immorality that are chargeable to intemperance. 
Preposterous luxury, insolvency and crime, are the certain followers 
of the bank mania, a system of stupendous gambling supersedes and 
derides regular occupation. Plethora brings on want, unnatural 
plenty, unnatural scarcity, prices so high that the working classes 
were pinched for food ; then, all at once, so low, that nothing but a 
bad currency, speculation and monopoly, can account for such sud¬ 
den vicissitudes, the most devouring usury, controversy and litiga¬ 
tion, panic, clamor, convulsion; and at last the unlawful refusal of 
the banks, in a time of profound peace, to redeem their notes in good 
money. These have been the rapid events of the last few months. 
With eighty millions ol gold and silver, and abundance of every 
thing needful for prosperity and content, large portions of our peo¬ 
ple are in a revolutionary state of disquiet and excitement, are re¬ 
duced to want and maddened with disappointed hope. 

The commercial classes, those indulged favorites of American 
government, for whom navies, foreign wars, and large expenditures, 
have been cheerfully maintained by the agricultural and mechanical 
classes; and the manufacturing class, whose encouragement has 
been so costly, have ail a perfect right to protection : as it is for the 
common welfare that every class should be rendered prosperous ;

but no class 1ms a right to supremacy, much less has any individual, 
or a tew, the least right to privileges, at the expense of all the rest 
ot the community. Banks, with all their privileged connexions and 
dependants, ought to be placed on a foot with the industrious, pro¬ 
ducing and unprivileged, who ask for nothing but liberty, equality, 
and a government ot just law, as the elements of a common pros¬ 
perity. Vicious speculation should be restrained by vigorous and 
independent legislation, whereas, unhappily and dishonorably, it is 
legislation that authorizes speculation and gambling to supplant the 
precious metals by paper, and has inflicted that degradation by 
. which the country is now suffering the disasters of a currency not 
much better than that of the revolution, against which all our early 
institutions so seduously guarded. 

Rooted, as discount banks are, in our habits and business, it is 
perhaps impossible to remove them altogether, and we must be con¬ 
tent with mere meliorations of a bad system. But it may be safely 
affirmed, that there is not, never was, and cannot be any such bank, 
without public mischief. The banking system began with the bank 
ot \enice, as a place of safe deposit, but not of discount or loan, 
and stood profitably on that foundation for six hundred years; so 
was the bank of Amsterdam, for a century and a half, a safe and 
profitable bank of deposit merely; and so is the bank of Hamburg. 
The original and right office of a bank, is to keep money, not to 
lend it; still less to lend mere credit by promissory notes, instead of 
money; and less still to lend the credit derived from keeping money 
not belonging to the bank. The principal gains of all discount 
banks proceed from doing what courts of justice punish as a fraud, 
viz : using, trust funds. The discovery of this fraud, ruined the 
bank of Holland. The bank of England was established as a tem¬ 
porary relief to government, and though allowed to discount, can 
hardly be considered as a discount bank, inasmuch as most of its pro¬ 
fits are derived from other means, and most of the discount loans 
of England are left to other bankers. The bank of Scotland has 
flourished for one hundred and forty years, on the charter of first, 
the responsibility of every stockholder for all the liabilities of the 
bank, not merely personal responsibility, but also by process of 
attachment ; secondly, interest paid on deposites; thirdly, allowing- 
deposits to be overdrawn on payment of interest; and fourthly, 
giving credits on cash accounts. On such a charter, the bank of 
Scotland has maintained its credit unimpaired, upon this more re¬ 
sponsible, and therefore more prudent, and therefore safer basis; 
while that of England, chartered about the same time, and banking 
with all the advantages of the government deposites, without indivi¬ 
dual responsibility, has been often in jeopardy, seldom, if ever, able 
t-o pay all its debts, for a long time under the total eclipse of suspen¬ 
sion of coin payments, until it has become so questionable an insti¬ 
tution for public good, that by its last renewal, the capital was re--

duced, the period of recharter was reduced, and the hank accepted 
it on the condition of being obliged to surrender it on short notice. 

American banks, unfortunately taking the bank of England for 
their model, have pushed the discount scheme, in its most vicious 
principle, to ruinous excesses, until the banking mystery is exposed, 
and the bubble has burst so often, that every body now knows, and 
almost every one feels, that bank notes are never payable, but mere¬ 
ly promissory; that banks are almost always, insolvent, and their 
directors the mere holders, by sufferance, of a precarious permission, 
to mimic the sovereignty of state, by a mockery which emergencies 
never fail to put an end to, but which always explode with commo¬ 
tion, panic and great inconvenience. 

The whole theory and practice of American banks are false and' 
pernicious ; their first act being to lend trust money, left with them 
to keep, their next misconduct is to issue mere promissory notes, 
instead of gold and silver money, which notes do not represent such 
money. Then they make loans of fictitious credit, by secret and 
arbitrary discounts, increased or decreased with no regard to public 
good. The holders of their unpayable notes calling on them for 
money, the banks oblige their debtors to pay what they have bor¬ 
rowed; thus without any System, at one time gorging the commu¬ 
nity with false plenty, at another, straitening it with supposed w r ant, 
(as six months ago there was actually no want of food, though prices 
indicated dearth; and at present, when in the midst of plenty, of 
money there is none,) distressing all, with either too much or too 
little of the means of livelihood*. Again : bank loans, such as they 
are, are not made to those who want, to the industrious mechanical? 
classes, but to the speculating and extravagant; often by bank 
directors to themselves, with which to grind the needy by usurious 
lending again ; or to other unworthy favorites. The laborious and 
frugal are rarely assisted, but those who are stimulated to live beyond 
their means, and pursue a course of lolly, luxury and insolvency. 
Nine-tenths of them become insolvent, for there is not one prize to 
a thousand blanks in the bank lottery: and by their assignments, 
almost always secure the bank, leaving other creditors, friends, and 
even their own families, to destitution and ruin. It is mainly through 
bank influence that courts of justice have been brought to sanction 
those unjust preferences which have now become part of the estab¬ 
lished law, although condemned by a whole class of our people as 
dishonest. Banking and all other corporations, have the best means 
to fortify themselves with the first professional talents, so that laws 
are both made and administered to their advantage; and by a sort of 
priority in the payment of debts, equal to government prerogative, 
they take rank of all other creditors. A report to the Senate of this 
State, made the 15th of January, 1821, by a committee, of which 
the chairman w T as an intelligent merchant of Philadelphia, declare:* 
that, had it not been for the practice so universally prevalent 
among merchants, of securing the banks for the sake of endorsers,

bunking would long since have been abandoned as an unprofitable 
trade. The whole ol the bank system is an imposition, and a loss ; 
and it may be affirmed, that those despots who recoined hard money, 
and re-issued it with an increased nominal value, in order to replen¬ 
ish their treasuries, did not inflict as great injustice on their subjects 
as we scourge ourselves with, by yielding the sovereignty of the 
State to the few thus irresistably tempted to depreciate money and 
prosperity, tax industry and distress the community. 

It is a gross delusion, of which it is high time to disabuse the 
public, that our banking system is the spring of those rapid im¬ 
provements and advances in commerce, manufactures and the useful 
Hits, which distinguish England and the United States beyond all 
othei countries. The parentage of these*improvements is liberty 
united with labor. Credit can but lend, while industry always 
gives. And bank credit never even lends without incumbering its 
debtors with mortgages and hypothecations. The goods, the towns, 
roads, canals, and other creations which we too often ascribe to 
credit, are really due to work, to that incessant labor which freemen 
delight in, whose chief pleasure is constant employment. All 
hanks might be struck from existence without disadvantage to it. 
The aid they afford to enterprise is always incumbered with onerous 
securities, quickly and mercilessly exacted. Individual assistance 
by loans from capitalists would he much more serviceable. Bank 
resources cannot be greater than the aggregate means of the com¬ 
munity, and all capitalists would be lenders if banks were not 
privileged to monopolise Joans. They make a specious credit, the 
counterfeit of capital, a sort of volcanic capital, always on the 
point of explosion, every time it bmsts diminishing confidence in 
hanks, which must soon be altogether exhausted of credit with all 
who take any heed from experience. There are few now living who 
have not had more than one serious warning that discount loans 
cost more and yield Jess than individual loans; and tiiat instead of 
being a succour, they are fetters to enterprise. 

This imperfect view of American hanking has been confined 
exclusively to an exposition of its disadvantages in ‘its departures 
from that metallic basis, which is the only true standard of value, 
whose coinage and regulation do not belong to the government of 
this, or any other state; but have been surrendered, as was before 
shown, to the government of these United States. In such view 
the bank last chartered by Pennsylvania, formerly the bank of the* 
United States, is to be considered only as the largest, most lasting, 
most privileged, and therefore most dangerous, of those magazines 
of mere credit, which inconsiderate state legislation has given rise 
to. The capital of the bank of England is about fifty millions of 
dollars, that of Ireland about fourteen millions, that of Scotland be¬ 
tween six and seven millions, that of France about eighteen millions, 
and that of the Netherlands about three millions. So that the capi¬ 
tal of the state bank of the United States is much larger than that

of any other bank in the world, in proportion to the population it 
was created to supply with funds ; and it is believed that it never 
has been able, at any time, to employ more than five millions of 
dollars in this State. It has fallen, like all the other banks, in the 
present convulsion of exploded credit, utterly incapable of reali¬ 
zing the promised ends of its establishment, notwithstanding un¬ 
common privileges, conferred by the state, and a capital iarge 
enough to have resisted successfully those alleged interferences 
and irregularities of the federal government, which the friends of 
the American banking system assign as the causes of its present 
prostration. It may be conceded that those causes are not without 
some effort, without in the least degree affecting the argument 
which aims to show the utter insufficiency of that system. That 
system is elementally and essentially false, and the only cause csf 
complaint against the federal government, it may be repeated, is 
that it did not begin sooner and more strenuously to enforce specie 
payments, riot only at the land offices but at the custom houses, and 
for all the public dues. Such resumption, however severe, must 
take place; and allowed as it seems the states are to contribute a 
large proportion of the currency, much of the difficult and painful, but 
indispensable duty devolves upon them. It is not for this Conven¬ 
tion to prescribe measures of relief for the present calamity. That 
is the office of legislation. But it is incalculably important that 
the new Constitution should be fortified with the strongest provisions 
that can be incorporated with it, in conjunction with the federal 
government, to prevent recurrence and continuance of such evils. 

In common with the whole United States, this state is now suffer¬ 
ing the most distressing crisis of a disordered currency. The great, 
first and pervading cause of that disorder, is departure from the 
specie basis, and the whole strain of this review of the subject, 

' avoiding as much as possible, those exciting topics which have be¬ 
come parly politics, and as such infuse themselves into all discus¬ 
sion, has been to demonstrate, that to restore the specie standard, and 
reduce the bank supremacy, is the obvious, the only and the infalli¬ 
ble remedy. The last has been a terrible year for this country, more 
so than any one that has preceded it, since the independence of these 
United States, distressing at home and disgraceful abroad. It will 
require many seasons of prosperous production, to repair the bank¬ 
ing ravages of the last two years at home, and a long tract of time to 
recover the American character lost abroad. The mode of living in¬ 
troduced by the imposing facilities of bank credit, must be reformed 
altogether: and with the general return, to at least something like 
tlie less ostentatious habits of the days of hard money ; it is the first 
interest of this leading state to restore that sterling standard. The 
manufactures, internal improvements, mineral wealth, commerce, and 
agriculture of Pennsylvania, in short, the whole industry of the com¬ 
monwealth require that, above all things, as their great conservative 
protection. Accordingly, the articles proposed by your committee,

as amendments to the constitution, contemplate that object as the de¬ 
liverance and restoration of the currency. 

The legislature, at the first session under the amended constitution, 
shall declare by law : 

First. That there shall be no bank in this state after the year 
1842, with a capital exceeding millions of dollars, and that 

all bank charters may be always altered or repealed by law. 

Second. That no bank shall issue or discount notes until the entire 
capital of such bank is paid into and held by the bank, of which at 
least one third shall be gold or silver. 

Third. That no bank shall ever discount notes for more than fifty 
per cent, beyond the amount of its capital actually paid and held as 
aforesaid, nor shall any bank ever divide more than seven per cent, 
per annum of profits among its stockholders. 

Fourth. That no bank shall buy bank notes, stock of any kind 
or property, whether real or personal, for profit, or sell gold or 
silver. 

Fifth. That no bank, by the gradual suppression of all bank 
notes for less than twenty dollars, shall issue any such notes after 
the year 1841. 

Sixth. Prohibiting all preferences by insolvent debtors in favor 
of banks, and the endorsers, drawers, and all others interested in 
notes discounted or held by any bank, so that in case of insolvency 
no bank shall have preference or priority in payment of debts. 

Seventh. Rendering all the stockholders of banks liable in their 
private property for the debts and liabilities of their bank, and liable 
by process of attachment of such property, whether held by them¬ 
selves or others. 

So extensive a view as the foregoing of the currency, although 
much abridged of what it might and perhaps ought to be, renders 
it indispensable that the notice of corporations should be brief and 
summary. Thev are kindred subjects, and as lar as the power of 
Legislation is concerned, much of what is said of the former ap¬ 
plies to the latter. 

If the principles of the Declaration of Independence, and the 
bills of rights attached to each and all of the several state consti¬ 
tutions, are to be faithfully carried out in practice, if these char¬ 
ters of American liberty and equality are realities, things, not mere 
words, all corporations, especially of perpetuities, conferring ptivi- 
legos for gain, are unrepublican and radically wrong, lor the 
moment that two or more individuals are associated by act ot law, 
and endowed with privileges which do not. belong to them as indi¬ 
viduals, all natural, social and political equality is destroyed for 
their advantage, and to the prejudice of the rest of the community.

JOURNAL OF THE 


May 2S 

Equality is put an end to, and an aristocracy is created, which, 
although without titles, must be inconsistent with the genius and 
principles of free institutions. The only foundation of republi¬ 
canism is equality of rights, equality of duties and equality of 
responsibilities; and it may well be questioned whether any laws 
which assume inequality as the basis of their provisions, are within 
the scope and trust of republican legislation. They may be called, 
laws enacted as such, and administered as such, but they do not 
proceed from the delegated authority of republican Legislators, and 
are no more laws than the rescripts of a Roman Emperor, or the 
ordinances of any other absolute Monarch. Corporations, intro¬ 
duced as sanctuaries of liberty, and checks upon monarchy, have- 
become the mere fortresses of property. At the period of adopting 
the first constitution of Pennsylvania, they were so little^ known in 
practice, that it was thought necessary to invest the legislature 
with express power to grant them, and it is well known that similar 
authority was deliberately withheld by its framers from the con¬ 
stitution of the United States. Thus the numberless and multi¬ 
farious charters that have been granted by the present constitution 
of this state, are the creatures of a constructive power both novel 
and questionable. They are all a compromise of the principle of 
equality with that of property. Whatever power is given to a cor¬ 
poration is just so much power taken from the state, in derogation 
of the original power of the mass of the community, and violative of 
the equality of every individual not incorporated. Should no check 
be put on the present facilities and habits of incorporating indi¬ 
viduals for lucrative purposes, that system of extensive and provi¬ 
dent legislation which guarded against the accumulation and per¬ 
petuity of property, by primogeniture and entail, will be completely 
annulled, and the tenure of property carried back to a system, not 
feudal in its military features, but much more strict and lasting than 
feudal tenure. Liberty remains, freedom of speech,, of action, of the 
press, of religion, and of acquiring propeity ; but equality is rapid¬ 
ly disappearing in the possession, distribution and transmission of 
it. It may be asserted with truth that property is more equally 
divided and held in France than in Pennsylvania, where, though 
personal titles abound, yet property privileges are much less com¬ 
mon than here. The impolicy is patent, of transferring to the 
instrumentality of corporations those creations of the useful arts, 
for which individual industry is so much more competent and 
cheap. Association never creates capital, as often supposed, though 
it is no doubt useful in amassing it—that, is to say, in uniting the 
means of many individuals for accomplishing purposes beyond the 
means of any one. But, whenever any association is chartered with 
special privileges, the common equality is destroyed, and it may 
well be questioned whether republican legislation is authorised by 
its trust to grant such charter. Labour performed for corporations 
is like the labour of slaves, more expensive and less.productive

than free labour. Individual interest and industry are much surer 
impulses than those of corporation agencies. And here again it is 
proper to notice, not with censure, but regret, that the courts of 
justice in this country have not controlled the predominance of cor¬ 
porations. The common law respecting them is simple and satis¬ 
factory. Incorporation gives to many men no dispensation fiom 
law, (except their peculiar privileges) which is not the equal, if not 
the better right of every man, and it is the settled law that corporate 
power cannot be carried beyond the letter of its grant. Yet such 
has been the social and political influence of corporations, that 
every day they assume constructive powers transcending their 
charters with perfect impunity; and few, if any, are the instances 
in which any American court of justice has ever exercised the 
authority said to belong to courts of justice alone, of annulling a 
charter or rebuking abuses of it. The great business of legislation 
of late years has been to grant charters ; and no considerate man 
can reflect without mortification on the means by which they are 
accomplished, the purposes to which they are too often applied, the 
manner of their organization, their number and their influence.— 
Thoroughly impressed, as your committee are, with well considered 
doubts of the constitutionality of many, and a strong conviction of 
the impolicy of most of them, they have no hesitation to avow, aa 
will be obvious to this Convention, that the articles proposed to be 
incorporated in the constitution, are designed to render it much 
more difficult than at present to procure an act of incorporation at 
all, so that hereafter no such act shall take place without the most 
cogent necessity.

No law shall be enacted granting any perpetuity or monopoly for 
private purposes. 

No bill creating, continuing, renewing, prolonging or supplying any 
body politic or corporate, (except religious, scientific, literary or chari¬ 
table institutions,) shall become a law, but by the concurrent votes of 
two-thirds of the members of two successive legislatures. Every such 
bill shall be read throughout, three distinct times, on three different 
weeks during public sessions of both houses. After its first reading 
the presiding officer of the House in which it originated, shall cause 
sucfqbill to be published by printed copies thereof daily, if there be 
a daily newspaper, if not, as often as possible by newspaper or other 
printed advertisements, during at least one week in the city, town or 
county, and as near as may be, in the immediate neighborhood where 
said law is to operate. And no such bill shall be read a second time 
till the said presiding officer certifies to such House that such publir 
cation has taken place.

On the final passage of such bill in both Houses, the presiding of¬ 
ficer of each shall direct the ayes and noes of all the members voting 
thereon to be entered on the journal of each House. 

No such bill shall be altered in any way by the legislature last 
voting on it. 

And if the Governor return it with his objections it shall not be¬ 
come a law during that session of the legislature. 

All by-laws and enactments of municipal corporations shall be by 
them reported to the Speaker of the House of Representatives on 
the first dav of the session of the legislature, next succeeding the 
adoption of such by-laws or enactments which shall not be in force 
more than one year, unless confirmed by act of Assembly.

Mr. Lyons obtained leave of absence for a few days, from to-day, 

Mr. Nevin obtained leave of absence for a few days, from Friday. 

Mr. Porter, of Northampton, from the committee to whom was 
referred the ninth article of the Constitution, made report as fol¬ 
lows, viz : 

The existing bill of rights, as it stands, except that the twenty- 
sixth or last section thereof shall be numbered “ 27 and that the 
following be introduced as “ section 26 

“ Those who conscientiously scruple to bear arms, shall not be 
compelled to do so, nor pay an equivalent therefor, except in times 
of exigency or war.” 

Laid on the table. 

Mr. Porter, of Northampton, from the same committee, to whom 
was referred the ninth article of the constitution, made report as 
follows, viz : 

The committee on the ninth article of the Constitution, to whom 
were referred the several propositions hereinafter mentioned, beg 
leave to report, that they have had the same under consideration, 
and have deemed it inexpedient or improper to recommend consti¬ 
tutional provisions in relation thereto, for the reasons following the 
same respectively. 

No. 17. Submitted by Mr. Darlington, of Chester, instructing 
this committee “ to inquire whether any disqualification for holding 
offico. under the commonwealth, should attach to any person on ac¬ 
count of his having been concerned in any duel, either as princi¬ 
pal or second, or of having been convicted of any other crime or 
misdemeanor.” This is believed to be a fit subject for legislation, 
upon which action has been had, whether to sufficient extent or 
not, it is not material now to inquire, or if more be needed, it is 
entirely within the power of the legislature, but does not, in the 
judgment of the committee, come within the principles which 

should be embraced in the constitution. 

■» 

No. 16. Submitted by Mr. Heister, of Lancaster, instructing this 
committee to inquire into the expediency of amending the ninth 
article as follows, viz : 

I. That the legislature shall not authorize lotteries for any pur¬ 
pose whatever. 


CONVENTION OF 1837 


207 


May 24 

II. That the legislature shall provide by law for the election or 
appointment of all officers not specified in the constitution as 
amended. 

As to the first of these provisions, the committee deem it inexpe¬ 
dient to insert it in the constitution. Lotteries are an undoubted evil 
and have been abolished and prohibited, both by the good sense of 
the community and the enactments of the legislature, and little, if 
any danger, need be apprehended of their re-establishment. As it 
regards the second of these propositions, the committee do not 
think it is within their province. The grants of power and au¬ 
thority belong to other committees. The restrictions on those 
powers and prohibitions of encroachment on the rights of citizens, 
belong to this committee. 

No. 39. Submitted by Mr. Mann, of Montgomery, instructing 
this committee “ to inquire into the expediency of so amending the 
sixth section so that in all cases of trial by jury, (except capital 
punishment,) it shall be competent for two-thirds or three-fourths 
to give a verdict.” Such a provision the committee conceive it 
would be improper to introduce. The trial by jury has been matu¬ 
red and established by the wisdom of ages, and we should fear that 
such an innovation upon it would be fraught with dangerous, if not 
destructive consequences. 

No. 43. Submitted by Mr. Reim, of Berks, instructing this com¬ 
mittee “ to consider the expediency of so amending the constitu¬ 
tion, as to allow forever in this state the free exercise and enjoy¬ 
ment of religious profession and worship to all mankind; but tl^it 
the liberty of conscience hereby secured, shall not be so construed 
as to excuse acts of licentiousness, or justify practices inconsistent 
with the peace and safety of this state.” The committee deemed it 
inexpedient to adopt any further provision on this subject, than is 
contained in the existing bill of rights, which allows full freedom of 
religious opinion to all, and denies the right of any human authority 
to control or interfere with the right of conscience, and prohibits any 
preference from ever being given by law to any religious establish¬ 
ments or modes of worship, and prohibits the legislature from 
ever disqualifying persons from holding office or places of trust or 
profit under the commonwealth on account of their religious senti¬ 
ments, who acknowledge the being of a God and a future state of 
rewards and punishments. 

No. 54 Submitted by Mr. Farrelly, of Crawford, instructing this 
committee to inquire into the expediency of striking out the ninth 
article, and substituting therefor the following: “ the powers not 
delegated by this constitution are retained by the people.” 

The committee believe that this proposition ought not to be adop¬ 
ted, as the present bill of rights is necessary.

No. 55* Submitted by Mr. Crum, of Huntingdon, instructing 
this committee “ to inquire into the expediency of a constitutional 
provision requiring the observance of the Sabbath day.” 

The committee believe it inexpedient to report any provision 
relative thereto, as it is a subject peculiarly for legislative action, and 
is already provided for by law. 

Laid on the table.

Mr. Porter of Northampton, from a minority of the same com¬ 
mittee, to whom was referred the several propositions hereinafter 
mentioned,, made report as follows, viz : 

The undersigned, a minority of the committee on the ninth arti¬ 
cle of the constitution, submit the following as provisions, which 
in their judgment, should be inserted in the bill of rights in addi¬ 
tion to those reported by the committee, to be called sections 
twenty-seven and twenty-eight, and the section reported twenty- 
seven to be numbered thirty. 

Sect. 27. No perpetual charter of incorporation, except for reli¬ 
gious, charitable or literary purposes, shall be granted, nor shall 
any charter for other purposes exceed the duration of years. 

Sect. 28. No charter of incorporation for banking purposes, nor 
for dealing in money, stocks, securities or paper credits, shall ex-, 
ceed the duration of years, nor shall the same be granted 

where the capital authorised exceeds dollars, without the 

concurrence of two successive legislatures. 

Sect. 29. The Legislature shall have no power to combine or 
unite in any one bill;or act, any two or more distinct subjects or 
objects of legislation, or any two or more distinct appropriations, or 
appropriations to distinct or different objects, except appropriations 
to works exclusively belonging to and carried on bv the common¬ 
wealth ; and the object or subject matter of each bill or act snail 
be distinctly stated in the title thereof.

Ordered , That the committee of the whole have leave to sit again 
on Monday next. 

Adjourned until nine o’clock on Monday next. 



The President laid before the Convention a communication from 
the State Treasurer, containing a statement of the expenditures, debts 
and property of the commonwealth, and the sums received from 
banks as a bonus, dividend or otherwise, and also a statement of all 
sums received during the last financial year as taxes of all kinds. 

May 26, 1837. 

In accordance with a resolution of the Convention, calling on the 
State Treasurer to communicate a complete view of the “ expendi¬ 
tures, income, debts and property of the commonwealth, and also a 
precise statement of the sums received, or receivable from banks as 
a bonus, dividend or otherwise, and also a statement of all such 
sums as were received during the last financial year, as taxes of all 
kinds.’* 

The following report is submitted with respect to the first and 
second inquiries; as to the receipts and expenditures, permit me to 
refer you to the annexed statement, marked A and B. The two first 
items are liable to much fluctuation. The revenue may be increas¬ 
ed by legislation on particular matters, and the expenditures may be 
increased, as is often the case, by large local appropriations. Such 
appears to have been the case last year, as the ordinary expendi¬ 
tures appear to have exceeded the ordinary receipts. 

With respect to the third item, I will refer you to statement 
marked C, exhibiting the whole amount of premiums in the form of 
bonus, and also tax on bank dividends, received since 14th May, 1814, 
and dividends on bank stock. Statement marked D, contains the 
amount of state debt and state property. Statement E, shows the 
amount of taxes (proper) collected annually. 

Which is respectfully submitted.

FRIDAY, Jirne 16, 1837. 


Mr. Forward, from the committee to whom was referred the 
seventh article of the constitution, made the following report in part, 
viz: 

ARTICLE VII. 

Sect. 1 . The legislature shall, as soon as conveniently may be, 
provide by law for the establishment of schools throughout the state* 
in such manner that all children may be taught at public expense. 

Sect. 2. The arts and sciences shall be promoted in such insti¬ 
tutions of learning as may be alike open to all the children of the 
commonwealth. 

Sect. 3. Without amendment. 

Sect. 4. The legislature shall not invest any corporate body with 
the privilege of appropriating private property to its own use, unless the 
owners or proprietors of such property shall have been previously' 
compensated therefor. 

W. FORWARD, 

' GEORGE M. IvEIM, 

GEO. W. RITER, 
TOBIAS SELLERS, 

E. C. REIGART, 

JAMES POLLOCK, 
THOMAS H. SILL. 

Laid on the table. 

Mr. Riter, from the minority of the committee to whom was re¬ 
ferred the seventh article of the constitution, made the following 
report, viz : 

The minority of the committee on the seventh article of the con¬ 
stitution, respectfully report, that numerous petitions from various 
parts of the State, indicate beyond all doubt the strong desire of the 
people, that constitutional restraints should be put on the much 
abused power of the legislature to create corporations, especially 
bank corporations. Your committei? are convinced, not to do so 
would be to violate the will of the people, clearly and anxiously 
made known by direct communication of said will to this Conven¬ 
tion. Even if your committee, therefore, doubted as individuals, 
they do not feel at liberty to hesitate, as representatives of the peo¬ 
ple, to say that this evil must be remedied ; or it will lead to deplo- 


June 16 


CONVENTION OF 1837 . 


275 


rable consequences. They therefore submit the following amend¬ 
ments, to be made imperative as a constitutional interdict on future 
legislatures. 

That all banks chartered hereafter, shall be upon the following 
conditions, viz : 

1. No bank shall be chartered unless .it has the concurrent action 
of two-thirds of two successive legislatures, and that public notice 
be given of such intention in the immediate neighborhood where 
such bank is to be located, at least sixty days prior to said applica¬ 
tion to the legislature. 

2. No bank shall be chartered for more than eight years. 

3. No vote for directors or piesident of a bank shall be uiven bv 
proxy. 

4. No bank shall divide more than seven per cent, per annum of 
the profits of said bank ; the surplus of profits over seven percent, 
per annum, to be paid annually into the State Treasury. 

5. Each and every stockholder of all banks to be personally, and 
to the extent of all his property, answerable for all debts of the 
bank in which he holds stock. 

With such provisions your committee trust that banks may be 
hereafter safely conducted. That such has not been the caso 
hitherto, let the present crisis answer. Your committee do not de¬ 
sire to destroy or injure the property of chartered banks, only to 
reduce and define their privileges so they may not destroy or injurs 
the property of others. 

GEORGE W. RITER, 
TOBIAS SELLERS. 

And the said report having been read, 

On motion of Mr. Stcrigere, 

The same was recommitted to the minority of the committee 
who reported it. 

Mr. Keim, from the minority of the same committee, made the 
following report, viz: ^ • 

Sect. The Legislature shall not charter any bank for a longer 
period than five years, nor for a greater amount ot capital than 

dollars. The stockholders of every bank shall be re¬ 
sponsible, in their private property, for the debts and liabilities 
thereof; no bank shall establish branches , nor shall any charter au¬ 
thorize the issuing of bank notes under the denomination of twenty 
dollars. GEORGE M. KEIM.

REPORT 

V 

ON THE 

. 9- 

PUBLIC COST OF GENERAL EDUCATION IN PENNSYLVANIA- 

“ Resolved , That the Secretary of the Commonwealth, Auditor 
General, and the Treasurer of the State, be requested to furnish this 
Convention with statements showing the public cost, by taxation or 
otherwise, of schools, academies, colleges and education in this state, 
together with an estimate of a sum sufficient, and a plan of the best 
method of raising it, for educating all the children of the state,” 

The Secretary of the Coirimomvealth, as Superintendent of Com¬ 
mon Schools, has had the foregoing resolution for some time under 
consideration, and is now compelled, in reporting, to state, that after 
obtaining all the information within his reach, his estimates, so far 
as sums and numbers are concerned, are in many instances based on 
loose data. For the conclusions and opinions submitted, he can 
speak w r ith greater certainty. They are given, it is true, on his own 
individual responsibility, yet they are the offspring of much thought 
and a very close, though brief connexion, with the system of educa¬ 
tion. They are also presented somewffiat at length, and may seem 
to embrace subjects not strictly connected with that of public instruc¬ 
tion. But when the general terms of the resolution are referred to, 
and the paramount importance and pervading influence of general 
education are remembered, the latitude of remark indulged in will 
perhaps not appear wholly uncalled for. 

1. PUBLIC COST OF EDUCATION. 

In SCHOOLS. 

« 

The public cost of education in primary schools, as near as can 
be estimated, during the present school year will be: 


June 22 


CONVENTION OF 1887 . 


503 


From annual state appropriation, to the accepting common 

school districts, (being four-fifths of the whole number,) $160,000 
f rom taxation in the same districts, including the city and 
county of Philadelphia, for the support of the Lancas- 
terian system therein, 400,000 

Annual expense of teaching poor children in the non-ac¬ 
cepting districts, (being one-fifth of all the districts in 
the state,) under the old law for educating the poor 
gratis, 25,000 

Total amount of one year’s public instruction, in primary 

schools, $585,000 

In addition to this, there will be paid out of the state treasury, 

during the year, four-fifths of the school-house fund of five hundred 
thousand dollars, appropriated by the legislature at its last session. 
This sum of four hundred thousand dollars, not being an annual ex¬ 
penditure, but a present outlay for the benefit of the future, should 
not be charged among the expenses of one year. Including, how¬ 
ever, this sum, the whole amount to be expended during the present 
year, for the purposes of public education in primary schools, will 
be not less than a million of dollars, of which something more than 
one half will be paid by the state, and the remainder by taxation. 

In academies. 

Of the public cost of academies the department possesses little 
information. It is believed that no portion of their expenses are de¬ 
frayed by annual taxation. Academies, in forty-five counties have, 
from time to time, received aid from the state, sometimes in money, 
generally in the proportion of two thousand dollars to each county, 
amounting to one hundred and six thousand nine hundred dollars; 
and sometimes in land, whose value it is difficult to estimate, but 
supposed to be worth at least one hundred and thirty-five thousand 
dollars, making a gross amount of aid to academies, of two hundred 
and forty-one thousand dollars. 

It is believed that no grants have ever been made by the State, 
with less general good effect than those to academies. It seems to 
have been intended to endow one strong institution of this kind in 
each county, as a kind of radiating point in the county system of 
education ; but the project has proved nearly a total failure. Inobe- 





304 


JOURNAL OF THE 


June 22 


dience to a resolution of the Legislature, efforts: were made, last 
summer, to ascertain the condition of the county academies ; and the 
result was, that only seventeen were reported to be in opeiation, the 
total number of whose students was one thousand one hundred and 
eleven. Many of those that yet survive, are considerably in. debt,. 

In colleges,. 

The public cost of colleges has also been in the form of occasional 
donations, either in money or land. The total aid in money amounts 
' to two hundred and twenty-four thousand six hundred and sixty-six 
dollars, and in land to about nineteen thousand dollars, making a 
gross, amount of grants to colleges, heretofore, of two hundred and 
sixty thousand dollars. The whole number of institutions of this 
kind, incorporated in Pennsylvania, is believed to be fourteen, of 
which eleven are in operation. 

All the information on the subject of colleges and academies, pos¬ 
sessed by this department, Avill be found in the annual report of the 
Superintendent, submitted to the last Legislature, particularly in ta¬ 
bles E, F, and G, appended to that document. 

I 

2. ESTIMATE OF THE SUM SUFFICIENT FOR EDUCATING ALL 
THE CHILDREN US THE STATE. 

r 

In primary schools. 

The whole number of children in the State, between the ages of 
live and fifteen, is about three hundred and twenty thousand; of 
whom, together with those of a more advanced age, probably not 
more than two hundred and twenty thousand will attend school at 
one time in the year. The cost of instructing each pupil in a com¬ 
mon school, after the system shall be fully established and under¬ 
stood, will not exceed one dollar a quarter. Experience will show 
that the schools cannot be kept open, on an average, more than three- 
fourths of each year, consistently with the convenience of the agri¬ 
cultural and laboring classes, who furnish live-sixths of the pupils. 
The annual cost, therefore, of primary school education, for some 
years, will be about six hundred and sixty thousand dollars in the 
whole State, including the city and county of Philadelphia. This 
calculation is based on the supposition that the common school syg- 


I 


June 22 


CONVENTION OF 1837 . 


305 


tem will be accepted in all the districts of the Commonwealth, though, 
only four out of five have yet received it. 

After the lapse of four or five years, the cost of common school in¬ 
struction, it is believed, will materially diminish. School houses 
and other preliminary arrangements will then be completed, and will 
cease to be a heavy item in the annual expenditure. This desirable 
result will be much hastened by the school-house fund, appropriated 
at the last session of the Legislature. Cheaper, as well as better 
modes of instruction will be discovered and systematically pursued ; 
and the influx of grown-up pupils who now crowd the school houses, 
with little benefit to themselves or society, and much expense to the 
system, will wholly cease, as the system accomplishes its object. 
Hence, it may be safely calculated that proper attention and exertion 
during the next four years, will reduce the expenses of the common 
school system to five hundred thousand dollars annually, being a de¬ 
crease equal to one-fourth of the whole amount. In this estimate, 
the system is supposed to be accepted by all the districts. 

In academies and colleges. 

Though it is not presumed to be the intention of the government 
to divert a large portion of the means now applicable to the purposes 
of education, from the common school system, for the purpose of 
applying it to the support of academies and colleges, yet justice and 
a due regard for the promotion of literature and science demand that 
their strong claims should not he wholly overlooked. The true way 
to promote any object is to aid it at the beginning, and to give it 
such an impulse there, as will carry it on to a successful termination. 
In accordance with this principle, one dollar judiciously applied to 
primary school learning, is worth more in its effects to society, than 
three given to colleges or academies. Still the regular and prudent 
appropriation of small sums in aid of the latter classes oi institutions, 
is calculated to produce much good, which cannot be effected by 
other means. 

The best mode of affording useful, permanent and invigorating 
assistance to our academical and collegiate system, it is believed, 
would be the establishment of a liberal Literary Fund, for their aid. 
If the proceeds of some considerable sum of money specially set 
apart for the purpose, or of some particular branch ol public revenue, 
—say the tax on writs, or the auction duties.—were annually distri- 

26 * 


JOURNAL OF THE 


June 22 


soa 

buted among them, by a competent and impartial agency, and in 
proportion to their real merits, the effect would be instantaneously 
beneficial. Academies which now dwindle, or are entirely disused, 
would revive under such an arrangement: for there is no' stronger 
spur to action, than the danger and disgrace of forfeiting a public 
benefit, depending on the performance of conditions in themselves 
praiseworthy. It is a- feeling which stirs into action every motive 
to honorable emulation. No academy in the State would remain 
quiescent a single year, under the influence of such an incentive. 
Thus, no matter what the motive, the public would reap a benefit 
beyond all proportion greater than the expense ; and the State would 
render productive and useful the capital already invested in these, at, 
present, nearly useless institutions. 

The same w r ould be the effect on the colleges. All would be 
stimulated to fresh and vigorous exertion; and in a short time, the 
number would be necessarily reduced to one better proportioned to 
the wants of the State than the present. The contest would then 
be, not one of management to obtain governmental or contributed 
aid, but of merit to deserve it; and none but meritorious and really 
necessary institutions, could long maintain the struggle. The chief 
defect of the collegiate system of Pennsylvania, which is the too 
great number of her institutions, would soon disappear, and a few 
healthy, flourishing and creditable to the commonwealth, would" 
remain to adorn and strengthen her system of education* 

3. BEST METHOD OF RAISING THE NECESSARY FUNDS. 


Literary fund. 

In describing the nature and necessity of a fund for the assistance- 
of colleges and academies, the source from which it must come, if 
it ever be created, and the manner of distributing it, have been 
named. Nothing further need, therefore, be said on the subject. 

Common school fund. 

\ ■ i 

In determining the best, means of raising the funds necessary to 
defray the expenses of the Common School System, the sources from 
which they are to be derived, the proportions to be derived from 
each source, and the manner of collection are ail to be considered* 


June 22 


CONVENTION OF 1837 . 


307 


V> ith regard to the sources, necessity has already determined 
them. The condition of the state treasury limits the amount de¬ 
rivable from that quarter at a sum far below the real wants of the 
system. The residue, therefore, is necessarily obtained from direct 
taxation. By existing laws the proportion raised by tax,* cannot be 
less than equal to that given by the state, as annual appropriation, 
but is really on an average at least two and one half times that 
amount. 

As to the proportion of school money which should be given by 
the state and that which should be obtained fiom taxation, so as 
best to comport with the views of theorists on this point, the un¬ 
dersigned hazards no opinion, in asserting that the amount of taxa¬ 
tion ought not to be increased beyond its present sum, which he 
most unequivocally does, reference is had more to the known op¬ 
position of our citizens to a school tax, than to any abstract reason¬ 
ing or minute calculation of the relative advantages of school funds 
as compared with direct taxation. In other states and countries 
where the system has been long in existence, and is placed on the 
solid foundation of public favor, it may be proper and safe to make 
the whole support of a common school system rest upon annual 
taxation, as a means of stimulating the exertions and exciting tire 
interest of the people in its behalf. In Pennsylvania another and 
a previous object is to be accomplished. With us the first measure 
is to remove prejudice and to render the system acceptable to the 
citizens. When that feeling is once fully aroused, which will yet 
take years of patient exertion, it will be time enough to ascertain 
what quantum of the so called taxation stimulus will be requisite 
to keep it alive. At present the best means of aiding the cause of 
common school education is to forbear coupling it, to any extent 
that can possibly be avoided, with the unpopularity of the tax col¬ 
lector, and to sustain it, as far as practicable, out of the state 
treasury. 

Every exertion should be made to raise the amount of state appro¬ 
priation to the annual sum of three hundred thousand dollars, which 
would completely turn the balance of public opinion in favor of 
the system, and would still Ifeave an amount of tax, so light as not 
to be burthensome, yet so considerable as to keep the eye of pub¬ 
lic attention beneficially fixed on its expenditures. 

An account of the condition of the permanent Common SchodI 


308 


JOURNAL OF THE 


June 22 


Fund, established by the act of 2d April, 1831, and formed ot the 
proceeds of the sale of public lands and the late state t^x on per¬ 
sonal and real property, will be found in the accompanying state¬ 
ment furnished by the Auditor General. From that document it 
appears that the annual interest of the fund will amount to one 
hundred thousand dollars, on the 1st April, 1842 ; which, accord¬ 
ing to the act creating it, would have been the day when the pro¬ 
ceeds of the fund would become actually applicable to the purpo¬ 
ses of teaching. That desirable event was however anticipated by 
the nineteenth section of the school law of 1st April, 1834, and by 
the eleventh section of that of June 13, 1836. So that the state 
appropriation from the school fund and from the general state trea¬ 
sury is now annually one hundred thousand dollars from the state 
trrtasury, and one hundred thousand dollars, payable by the bank 
of the United States under the sixth section of its charter act, 
making a present distributive annual sum of two hundred thousand 
dollars. 

It may also be proper here to remark, that the permanent school 
fund will be increased by the operation of the act of 27th Feb¬ 
ruary, 1837, which regulates the temporary disposition of this 
state's portion of the surplus revenue, and adds the interest of it to the 
school fund. The interest payable the present year by the deposit 
banks, under that act, will amount to about seventy-five thousand 
dollars, which is to be added to the principal of the common school 
fund. Should the annual distribution of the national surplus means 
be continued, this source of increase to the fund will soon add ma- 
terially to the strength of the system. 

The amount of taxation, it is believed, should be limited to the 
bare wants of the system, and should not be made arbitrarily and 
in all cases to equal any particular sum of state appropriation. 
Whenever an amount of tax less than the amount of state appro¬ 
priation will, with that, appropriation, be more than sufficient to 
keep the schools in operation the requisite time, which in most in¬ 
stances would be nine months in the year, the districts should be 
permitted to decrease their tax to that standard. No absolute 
minimum of taxation should be required, except for the purpose 
of causing a sufficient number of schools to be kept in operation, 
during a proper portion of the year, for the instruction of all the 
children of the district. When that desirable and main object of 


June 22 


CONVENTION OF 1837 * 


309 


the system is achieved, the burthen of taxation should be lightened 
as much as possible. By such an arrangement taxation will come in 
to Ihe aid of the permanent school fund, which seems to be its pro- 
per duty, and will be graduated to the actual wants of the system- 

This plan would also produce a decrease in the school expendi¬ 
ture. If directors who are themselves tax payers, and are accounta¬ 
ble to their neighbours who are also tax payers, have it in their 
power, by strict economy, to diminish the expenditure, and conse¬ 
quently" the taxation of the district, the result will obviously be most 
beneficial. Under existing laws, the dividend of state appropriation, 
which is in all cases determined oy the number of taxables in each 
district, being the absolute measure of the minimum of taxation, 
there exists little motive for reducing the expenses below the sum 
which must thus necessarily come into the district treasury. The 
evil of this feature in the law is not at present felt to any great de¬ 
gree, because the cost of procuring school houses and making the 
other preliminary arrangements of the system, generally exceeds the 
minimum of annual school money; but, as those preliminary ex¬ 
penses cease, and the amount of state aid increases, it will become 
manifest, and must be remedied, or beget a carelessness and extrava¬ 
gance which will be ruinous to the system. 

It will therefore soon become manifestly necessary to make the real 
wants of the system, and not any arbitrary relative proportion of 
sums, the measure of school taxation. 

The manner of collecting school money requires serious con¬ 
sideration. That portion of it receivable from the state is sufficiently 
well regulated by existing law, and needs no modification. It is not 
payable until evidence is produced of the assessment of the requi¬ 
site amount of tax by the district, and its receipt and disbursement 
are so guarded as to create all proper accountability. But in the 
manner of collecting school tax, is to be found a main obstacle to the 
spread of the system, and as the same defect runs through the whole 
system of taxation for public purposes, the following remarks will 
not be confined to the school tax. 

The citizen is first called on for his county rate, and until recently 
for his state tax; then the supervisor demands the road tax; a short 
time afterwards, probably a militia fine is to be paid; and finally, 
when all patience is worn out, the school tax collector comes with 
his duplicate. The tax payer’s opposition to the whole system of 


310 


JOURNAL OF THE 


June 22 


taxation is thus pent up and discharged against the school tax, which, 
because the last imposed, the least understood, and with many, the 
most unpopular, becomes the favorite theme of complaint, and often 
of political declamation. It has been known that collectors, opposed 
to the system, have delayed calling for the tax till the eve of an 
election, and have then loudly demanded payment, thereby increasing 
opposition. It has even occurred that county and other tax has been 
collected under the name of school tax, with an efleet upon the sys¬ 
tem that needs no comment. 

Nor is the present system of taxation objectionable alone on ac¬ 
count of its unnecessary and vexatious sub-divisions. The inequali¬ 
ty of its effects on the different kinds of property begets opposition 
and discontent which operate injuriously throughout, but especially 
upon the school system. 

State tax was levied on both real and personal estate ; county 
expenses are almost wholly paid by the owners of houses and land, 
while the possessors of money and most kinds of personal property 
contribute nothing; the same is the case. with regard to wad and 
poor taxes. For school purposes only a small amount can be levied 
on personal property, the chief burthen being thrown on real estate 
and on trades and occupations. 

These unnecessary and unjust distinctions have created and will 
create much discontent that might be avoided by a just equalization, 
and by a simultaneous collection of the whole. All public objects, 
whether they be the support of government, or the payment of 
county expenses-—the mending of a road, or the education of youth— 
the relief of the poor, or the defence of the state, have equal claims 
upon the citizen, and should be contributed to out of the same purse, 
and at the same time. The amounts required for each, will, of course, 
be different, but the distribution of the proper proportions among 
them should take place after and not before collection. 

As an instance of the unequal effect of the present ill-arranged 
system of taxation, it may be mentioned that when the late state tax 
was in operation, the county of Allegheny, with four representatives, 
and containing the rich city of Pittsburg, paid four hundred and 
seven dollars tax on personal property, while Adams, with only two 
representatives, paid four hundred and eighty-four dollars. Berks, 
having an equal valuation of real estate, and an -equal representation 
with Chester, only paid one thousand seven hundred and forty-five 
dollars personal tax, though the latter paid three thousand and forty-

live dollars. ork, with three representatives, paid only one 
thousand two hundred and six dollars. Westmoreland, with as many 
representatives as York, and fully one half the amount of real estate, 
only paid one hundred and fifty-six dollars personal tax. Philadel¬ 
phia city and county, with their immense real estate and all their 
costly buildings, only paid double as much real estate tax as the 
county of Lancaster; while the county of Lancaster, with six repre¬ 
sentatives, paid as much personal property tax as the fourteen con¬ 
siderable counties of Allegheny, Adams, Bedford, Bradford, Centre, 
Franklin, Huntingdon, Luzerne, Northumberland, Somerset, Schuyl¬ 
kill, Union, Washington and Westmoreland, put together, with five 
times as many representatives, and more than twice her amount of 
real estate. 

r 

This unjust and unequal effect of taxation is wholly attributable 
to the absence of an uniform mode of ascertaining the amount and 
value of the property to be taxed. One county, whose first rate 
land is worth $100 an acre, may value it, for the purposes of county 
taxation, at that sum ; an adjoining county containing land of the 
same description and value, may estimate it at $50. The result, 
when a state tax is to be collected, is obvious. This practice pro¬ 
duces no injustice in the collection of county levies, so long as the 
rate of appraisement is uniform over the whole county. But when 
a difference of valuation prevails among the townships of the same 
county, which is not unusual, the same oppressive inequality is 
produced, as in the case of state tax. 

The trifling amount of the late state tax on personal property 
proceeded from the ineffectual means provided by law to ascertain 
its actual amount, and the exemption of many descriptions of it 
from taxation altogether. 

By reference to the accompanying statement of the Auditor 
General on this subject, the amount of real and personal valuation 
and taxation in each county and in the whole state for 1835, will be 
seen, and the unequal operation of the present system at onoe 
perceived. 

That statement will show that a tax of one mill on the dollar, 
even under the present defective system, produced for state use, 
near two hundred and fifty thousand dollars from real estate, and 
about fifty thousand dollars from the kinds of personal property as¬ 
sessed, annually.

It must be obvious to every one who will think for a moment 
on the subject, that a fair valuation of all the personal property and 
productiveness of the Commonwealth, other than real estate, would 
at least quadruple the amount of personal property tax at the above 
rate. This single and just operation, without counting any thing 
from the more equal assessment of real estate, which would undoubt¬ 
edly produce much, would yield two hundred thousand dollars annu¬ 
ally ; a sum sufficient, with the proposed increase of state appro¬ 
priation, to support the Common School system. 

There is no feason why property in one part of the state or of a 
county, should be liable to Contribute a greater portion cf means to 
the public use than the same kind of property in another. Neither 
should one kind of property be exempt while another is taxed. 
The old feudal distinctions between personal and real estate have 
little force in this country. The one is, so far as ownership and 
liability are concerned, nearly as transitive and as tangible as the 
other. The amount of real is little greater than that of personal 
estate, if fully and fairly accounted, and certainly, at the present 
time, much less productive to the possessor. In former days, when 
the quantity of personal property was so trifling that it was aban¬ 
doned to the Church for pious uses on the death of the owner, c r 
was subject to a contribution during his life, of a fifth, a seventh, a 
tenth for the support of government, it was perhaps not so strange 
that the laws of the land should take little notice of it, either for 
its protection or transmission to the representatives of the deceased 
owner. But now, when it has vastly increased in amount, and 
forms a chief source of profit to the community—when courts are 
much occupied in its regulation, and governments largely employed 
in its protection, it does seem strange that it should enjoy to any 
extent whatever, an exemption from the common burthens. 

On examining the statute book it will be found that the chief 
tax, as such, for public use, paid by personal property, is that of 
one mill to the dollar for school purposes assessed on the articles 
enumerated in the act of 25th March, 1831, and continued by act 
of 13th June, 1836. Tax on bank dividends is not properly a 
contribution for the support of government, but a part of the price 
paid for the privilege of exercising one of the prerogatives of gov¬ 
ernment. In the same manner, the money paid for tavern licenses 
is not a tax, in the ordinary acceptation of the term, but a means

CONVENTION OF 1837 ,

to diminish dealing in strong drink ; and the price imposed on the 
dealing in foreign merchandise, may be most fairly called an expe¬ 
dient to protect and promote domestic manufactures. 

In this view of the unequal bearing of the present system of tax¬ 
ation, the proper remedy seems to be a constitutional provision, 
that all the property and productive industry and skill of the 
Commonwealth , of every kind , shall he fairly and uniformly ap¬ 
praised at its full value ; and that all tax now or hereafter 
necessary for every department of the public operations , shall he 
fairly and uniformly assessed, on the whole thereof; and shall he 
collected from each tax payer at one time and by one collector. 

The proposition to make the productive industry and skill of the 
commonwealth bear a portion of the public burthens, is not new in 
Pennsylvania. “ Offices and posts of profit, professions, trades 
and occupations,” have long been taxable. The object yet to be 
accomplished is merely to estimate them according to their just 

value and usefulness to those who exercise them and to society, 

»> ' 

and to as'sess upon them a full and fair portion of contribution to 
the use cf that public from which alone they derive their profitable 
value. The effect would not be an increase of the tax now paid 
by the small mechanic, the house-holder or the single freeman, but 
a more just assessment upon the lucrative professions and occupa¬ 
tions. 

These latter should be estimated at their full value and assessed 
accordingly, both because the protection of the rights of the per¬ 
sons who exercise them costs as much to government as that of 
the estates real and personal of the rest of society ; and because 
the value of skill and industry is more increased by that protection 
and by the operation of the social compact, than the land of the 
farmer or the gold of the capitalist. No matter how the affairs of 
government or the obligations of law may be deranged, the holder 
of money can generally supply himself with the necessaries of 
life and the producer can dispose of them, for men must have food 
and be clad through all changes. But the destruction of law ter- 
minates the vocation of the lawyer, anarchy and confusion injure 
the profitable profession of every branch of science, and annihilates 
a demand for the services of the artist. With the protecting pow¬ 
er of government cease the emoluments of all employed in admin¬ 
istering its various duties and offices; and when the reign of 

27

014 

order and mutual good faith ends, it is the inevitable destruction of 
that confidence on which the meritorious merchant, whose honest 
name enabled him to deal on the capital of others, rested for sup¬ 
port and success. 

The process by which this necessary and equitable equalization 
of taxation may be effected, is extremely simple and easy. Let the 
commissioners of each county, through the proper assessors, peri¬ 
odically make a valuation, at its full and real value, of all the pro¬ 
perty and productiveness of the county. Let this be the basis of 
all taxation. Let a certain percentage be levied upon it for county 
purposes, or for state use, if such tax or any other should hereafter 
become requisite. In the same way Jet the necessary percentage 
be levied upon it in each township, by the school directors and the 
road overseers, and when the whole amount required is thus deter¬ 
mined, let it be collected at one time and by one officer; and final¬ 
ly, when thus collected, then let the proceeds be distributed in their 
proper proportions to the different objects. 

The advantages of such an arrangement would be great: 

1. Opposition to taxation would decrease. That spirit is not so 
much produced by the amount of money exacted, as by the ha¬ 
rassing and continual calls of tax collectors of different kinds. 

2. Dissatisfaction at the unequal operation of the present system 

would be entirely obviated. 

•» 

3. Expense, inconvenience and risk of loss in Collection would 
be greatly diminished. 

4. The benefit to the school system, in the removal of opposition, 
would be invaluable. Being the youngest born of the unpopular 
family of taxes, the school tax is likely to suffer for all the sins of 
the elder branches. Any plan which will render them less unac¬ 
ceptable will diminish the weight of odium which bears upon it, 
and will have a corresponding good effect on the system. 

5. And finally, a most beneficial result would be the collection 
of the school tax without any increase of the burthens now borne 
by the farmer and mechanic. For, if fairly valued, and assessed to 
no greater extent than real estate for county and township uses, 
the personal property now in the commonwealth would, beyond a 
doubt, yield an amount of tax equal to all the wants of the schools. 
Thus, the more just equalization of taxation would produce a re*

suit of no less magnitude and benefit, than that of the permanent 
and equitable support of the common school system. 

If it be true that no subject possesses greater public interest 
than that of general and sound education ; and if it he also true 
that one of the chief obstacles to the spread of the common school 
system, is lobe found in the present defective plan of taxation, as 
has been attempted to be shown in the foregoing remarks ; then 
the undersigned will perhaps not he without excuse for having in¬ 
truded so long on the time of the Convention. 

All which is respectfully submitted,

Whereas, it appears to this Convention, from the progress hitherto 
made, that it is almost impossible that the duties we were sent here 
to perform can be accomplished and brought to a close before the 
unhealthy part of the season (viz: dog days) commences ; and 
whereas, so large a body of individuals congregated in one house 
would doubtless greatly impair our health, if not endanger our lives; 
therefore, 

Resolved , That this Convention will adjourn on the seventh day 
of July next, to meet again, in this place, on the seventeenth of 
October ensuing. 

On motion, 

The said resolution was read the second time.

Mr. Sellers presented a memorial from citizens of Montgomery 
county, on the subject of banks and banking. 

And the said 1 memorial was laid on the table* 

A motion was made by Mr. Montgomery, and read as follows, 
viz : 

Whereas, a, respectable number of this Convention appear to be 
opposed to any amendment or alteration in the constitution ; and as 
it bs uncertain whether a majority of the Convention are not of that 
opinion; and as it would be a useless waste of time and money for 
this Convention to continue any longer in session, if it is found that 
a majority are opposed to making any alteration in the constitution: 
And as a further evidence that there is a strong opposition to any 
alteration, we have only to refer to our vote yesterday to find that 
a majority cannot agree on amendments, as we have negatived all 
that we have done from the nineteenth instant up to the present mo¬ 
ment: Therefore, in order to ascertain the sense of the Convention 
on that subject, 

Resolved , That this Convention will, on Thursday next, a resolve 
itself into a committee of the whole, to take into consideration 
whether it is expedient or proper to make any alteration or amend¬ 
ment in the constitution; and that the question be decided by yea» 
and nays; and that no member shall be permitted to speak more 
than twice, unless otherwise ordered by the committee. 

Laid on the table. 

m 

A motion was made by Mr. Cope, and read as follows, viz; 

Resolved , That the President draw his warrant on the State Trea¬ 
surer for the sum of forty-seven dollars, in favor of Theophilus Fenn, 
for sundry printing done by him prior to the fifth of May last. 

And on motion, 

The said resolution was read a second time, considered and

CONVENTION OF 1837. 


339 


I 

I 

THURSDAY, June 29, j 887. 

■» ✓ ■..! 

The President laid before the Convention a communication from 
the Secretary of the Commonwealth, accompanied with a statement 
of the whole number of institutions for banking and other purposes, 
incorporated by the legislature of Pennsylvania, since 1770, as 
follows, viz : 

Secretary’s Office, 

Harrisburg , June 20, 1837. 

Sir :—In compliance with a resolution of the Convention, I have 
The honour to transmit a detailed statement of the whole number of 
institutions for banking and other purposes, incorporated by the Le¬ 
gislature of the state, since 1770; together with the date of incor¬ 
poration, the amount of capital authorized to be employed, the 
quantity of land owned, the amount of annual income, and the place 
of transacting the business of each company respectively, so far as 
could be ascertained. 

A more strict compliance with the terms of the resolution, would 
be matter of great difficulty, if at all practicable. This department 
is not in possession of information showing the amount of capital 
actually employed, or of the number of companies that have forfeit¬ 
ed their charters by misuse oi disuse. Neither has it been deemed 
necessary to attempt its collection, as it was understood that a con¬ 
tinuation, down to the present time, of the report of the subject 
made by the Secretary of the Commonwealth to the legislature in 
1828, was all that was required. That document therefore forms a 
part, of this report, and with the continuation of like statements to 
the close of the last session of the legislature, will present a full 
view of the whole matter of legislative incorporation. 

It was not supposed to be the desire of the Convention to he fur¬ 
nished with a similar list of all the literary, charitable and religious 
societies, chartered under the act of 1791. The resolution require.-* 
“ the dates of the several acts of incorporation” of the companies

to which it relates. These words seem to limit it to corporations 
c reated by special acts of the legislature. Charters obtained under 
general law are therefore omitted. They will, however, be furnish¬ 
ed if desired, as speedily as the other duties of the department will 
admit. 

Annexed will be found a recapitulatory statement of the whole 
number of each kind of legislative corporations, with the aggregate 
of capita], land and income, of each class. Also an abstract from 
the returns of all the banks of the state in operation in November, 
1836, and laid before the legislature at its late session, by the Audi¬ 
tor General. This document, it is believed, contains in a condensed 
form, all the information possessed by any of the departments on the 
subject. 

I am, sir, very respectfully, 

Your obedient servant, 


Hon. John Sergeant, 


TIIO. H. BURROWES, 
Secretary of the Commonhea.Uk . 


President of Convention. 


List of all Ike Acts of Incorporation passed by the Legislature since 1776, showing the amount of capital, quan

Adjourned till nine o’clock to-morrow morning; 


SATURDAY, July I, 1837. 

The President laid before the Convention a communication from 
the Secretary of the Commonwealth, accompanied by a statement 
relative to the number of all the justices of the peace, aldermen, and 
other judicial officers Of this commonwealth, together with their re¬ 
spective salaries, perquisites and official emoluments, and the dates 
of their respective appointments as far as the same could be ascer¬ 
tained, so as to show the cost of the administration of justice in the 
state, as follows, viz : 

Secretary’s Office, 

Harrisburg , 30th June , 1837. 

Sir: —In compliance with the resolution of the Convention, re¬ 
questing to be informed of “ the number of all the judges, justice* 



CONVENTION OF 1837 .

July 1 

ot the peace, aldermen and other judicial officers of this common¬ 
wealth, together with their respective salaries, perquisites, and offi¬ 
cial emoluments, and the dates of their respective appointments, as 
lar as the same may be ascertained, so as to show the cost of the 
administration of justice in the State,” the undersigned has the 
honor to report : 

That all the information required by the resolution relative to 
judges, was contained in a statement sometime since submitted to 
the Convention by the Auditor General and himself, except that the 
name of Robert 0. Griei, judge of the district court of Allegheny, 
whose salary is two thousand dollars per annum, was inadvertently 
omitted therefrom. 

In order to obtain as full information as the case would admit, 
of the number and emoluments of justices of the peace and aider- 
men, circular letters were addressed to the recorders of the several 
counties, to elicit the facts required, and to a_number of the most 
intelligent justices of the peace in each county, and to the aider- 
men of the cities for the same purpose. The amount of informa¬ 
tion embraced in the replies, which very recently ceased to arrive, 
will be found in the second, third, fourth and fifth columns of state¬ 
ment C, hereto annexed ; from which it appears that the whole 
number of justices in the commonwealth, as reported bv the recor¬ 
ders, is two thousand three hundred and fifty-live, of whom two 
thousand and sixty-seven are supposed to be acting justices. The 
average amount of emolument of the acting justices over the whole 
state, as estimated from the reports of the recorders, is about sixty- 
five dollars ; and from the reports of the justices themselves, seven¬ 
ty dollars per annum. But it will be perceived, that recorders of 
eleven counties have not reported the number of living justices. 
These counties contain near one-fifth of the whole number in the 
state, and will therefore increase the aggregate of living justices 
to about two thousand eight hundred, or perhaps thiee thousand. 
Neither have the recorders of seven counties reported the acting 
justices. A fair estimate in those counties, will bring up the whole 
number of acting justices to two thousand three hundred. It is 
probable that these estimates cannot be far from the truth. 

The average annual emolument of acting justices, as estimated 
by the recorders and by the justices themselves, at sixty-five dol¬ 
lars to severity dollars, is probably correct. If, however, the whole 
uumber of living justices, including at least seven hundred, who 
receive no emolument whatever, be assumed as the basis of calcin 
lation, the average for the whole state will be about fifty dollars 
per annum for eacli justice, or the gross sum of one hundred and 
fifty thousand dollars. To which, if the emoluments of aldenneri, 
(table C,) amounting to not less than seventeen thousand three 
hundred dollars, he added, the whole cost of justice as administer, 
ed by justices and aldermen, will be one hundred and sixty-sevci& 
thousand three hundred dollars.

JOrFINAL OF THE 


July 1 


While the means to obtain the foregoing information were in 
progress, an examination of the commission books in this depart¬ 
ment was made, and a list marked A, ot justices and aldermen and 
the dates of their appointments, prepared from December 1808, the 
commencement, cf Governor Snyder’s first term. It was not sup¬ 
posed necessary to begin further back than that period, and the list 
is carried forward till the firstof the present month. Table B, 
will present a summary in counties, of all the justices appointed by 
each Governor, during the period embraced in list A. The first 
column of table C, exhibits all the appointments in each county, 
during the same period. 

It must be remembered, that the commission book does not pre¬ 
sent a true statement of the number of living justices and aider- 
men. Many whose names appear upon it, have piobably died or 
r ’moved, though the department has not been informed of these 
charges. 

The foot of table B, will exhibit the whole number of appoint¬ 
ments by each Governor since 1808. The number appointed by, 
Governor Wolf, should be one thousand three hundred and thirty- 
nine, instead of one thousand two hundred and thirty-seven. The 
true number appointed in his terms of office, was ascertained during 
the session of the legislature of 1835—6, and reported to that body.. 
Since that time, many of the individuals embraced in that list, have 
died, removed, or resigned, and their names according to the prac¬ 
tice of the office, were erased from the commission hook, as others 
were appointed in their stead. The same practice has more large¬ 
ly reduced the number that stood on the commission book, as ap¬ 
pointed by previous Executives. 

The number (401) appointed by Governor Ritnor in a year and 
a half may, at first sight, appear large. But in addition to the 
ordinary demands for appointments caused by the growth of popu¬ 
lation, and by deaths, resignations and removals, the peculiar 
political change which placed him in office required an increase. 
It had been the unvarying rule, whether right or wrong it is now 
needless to inquire, of former administrations to confer commissions 
on none but their own political partisans. This pract ice, controlled 
as it was believed to be, by the influence and for the promotion of 
secret associations, was one of the strongest exciting causes of the 
election of Governor Ritner. 

“ When the public sentiment at length declared itself on this 
subject and burst open the doors of honor and confidence,” it 
became his duly, as far ap could be legally and properly done, to. 
“correct the procedure.” The power of removal was elsewhere 
placed by the Constitution. The only corrective therefore was to 
neutralize the evil, by appointing,, sparingly in different parts of 
the state, men. whose character for intelligence and honesty was 
equal to any, and whose entire freedom from oaths and promises 
unknown to the law, made them clear of suspicion as its ministers.

It is also proper to state that none were appointed except upon the 
urgent solicitation of citizens of the vicinity, as will appear by the 
petitions on hie in this office. 

it was suggested to the undersigned that it would be desirable to 
exhibit in tins report, the cost of audits in the different courts of 
Philadelphia city and county. A circular was accordingly address¬ 
ed to the prothonotaries and clerks requesting the necessary infor¬ 
mation. A reply has only been received from the prothonotary of 
the co ’rt ot common pleas, who states that the number of auditors 
annually appointed by the court may be set down at twenty-four, 
with the cost to the parties of $2,000 per annum.” 

Statement D, prepared by the Auditor General, exhibits, so far 
as that officer can furnish it, the amount, of fees received by the 
several county officers of the commonwealth. From which it 
appears that the gross income of the officers in question, for one 
year, is about $117,632 97, in forty-eight counties, including the 
income of the prothonotaries of two of the Supreme court districts. 
If to this be added the like proportion of emoluments in the coun¬ 
ties not embraced in the statement, tiie total for one year will be 
about $128,000. 

Statement E exhibits the information required by the Convention 
in the resolution requesting “ the number of officers (exclusive of 
judicial officers, prothonotaries, registers, recorders and clerks of 
the several county courts,) appointed by the Governor, setting forth 
their several titles, terms of office, compensation, and the place® 
wherein they exercise? their offices,” so far is the records of this 
department contain it. No means are possessed of ascertaining 
the emoluments of notaries public, commissioners of deeds in ether 
states, and of many other officers embraced in the list. 

All which is respectfully submitted.

Mr. Bell, from the committee to whom was referred the duty of 
ascertaining and reporting to the Convention the most eligible place 
ior the meeting of the Convention on the 17th of October next, 
made report as follows* viz : 

That, after reflection, the committee are of opinion that, under all 
the circumstances, the Convention will find it advisable to re-assem- 
bie in the city of Philadelphia. Every objection arising from the 
apprehension that a suitable building could not be procured, or on 
the score of the cost attending a removal, has been obviated by the 
offers of the councils of Philadelphia to make every necessary ar¬ 
rangement, for the accommodation of the Convention during its fu¬ 
ture deliberations. Your committee therefore recommend the adop¬ 
tion of the following resolution : 

Resolved , That when this Convention meet, on the 17th of Octo¬ 
ber next, it will meet in the city of Philadelphia, in such building as 
may be selected and prepared for its accommodation; and that a com¬ 
mittee of five be appointed to act in connection with the city coun¬ 
cils, on the subject. 

Laid on the table. 

Mr. Cope, from the committee on accounts, made report as fol¬ 
lows, viz : 

Resolved , That the President draw his warrant on the State Trea¬ 
surer for the sum of seven hundred dollars, in favor of 'H. and S. 
Sprigman, binders of the English debates, to be accounted for in the 
settlement of their accounts. 

Resolved , That the President draw his warrant on the State Trea¬ 
surer for the sum of three hundred dollars, in favor of Charles F. 
Muench, binder of the German debates, to be accounted for in the 
settlement of his accounts. 

Resolved , That the President draw his warrant on the State 
Treasurer for the sum of six thousand five hundred dollars, in favor 
of Emanuel Guycr, editor of the Daily Chronicle, to be accounted 
for in the settlement of his accounts.

NAY—Mr. Ingersoll 

So the question was determined in the affirmative. 


Mr. Porter, of Northampton, from the select committee to whom 
was referred the subject of the curtailment of the expenses of the 
Convention, made report as follows, viz: 

The committee appointed to inquire into the expediency of ma¬ 
king arrangements for discontinuing the Daily Chronic'e and Con¬ 
vention Journal, and to inquire what other expenses (if any,) of the 
Convention ought to be curtailed, and to whom was also* referred 
the resolution offered yesterday, on the subject of dispensing with 
the stenographers, the assistant door-keepers, and the sergeant-at- 
arms. at the next session of this body, report: 

That they have had the subject under consideration; that they 
necessarily divide themselves into two heads. 

First, An inquiry into whether there is any needless expense 
incurred by this body for contingence®, or in payment of unneces¬ 
sary officers, and 

Secondly , Whether any such expense is incurred in relation to 
taking down the debates and the printing of this body. 

As to the first of these, it appears that this body elected or ap¬ 
pointed by resolution, shortly after the commencement of its labors, 
two secretaries and two assistant secretaries, a sergeant-at-arms and 
assistant sergeant-at-arms, a door-keeper and assistant door-keeper. 
That subsequently, the secretaries employed two additional clerks 
to aid them in their labors, and who were discharged after the hurry 
of the business, which had required their employment, had passed. 
That the door-keeper employed four assistants and two boys, as 
messengers. The former of these were found necessary, and were 
kept in constant employment in the folding of documents and jour¬ 
nals, <Ac., and in attending toother necessary labors in and about 
the Convention. The two boys employed as messengers have been 
found necessary in the hall during the sessions of this body, and 
could not well have been dispensed with. 

The labors of so many officers may not, however, as the delibe¬ 
rations of this body progress, be found necessary, and the commit¬ 
tee recommend that the further services of the assistant secreta¬ 
ries, the sergeant-at-arms, assistant sergeant-at-arms, doorkeeper, 

57 


€74 


JOURNAL OF THE 


July 12 


assistant door-keeper and messengers, be dispensed with, from and 
after the 14th instant, and that this body will, on re-assembling. de¬ 
termine whether any, and if any, which of those officers shall be 
required. 

As to the second branch of inquiry, the expenses of taking down 
the debates and the printing generally, but more particularly the 
expense of printing and distributing the Daily Chronicle. 

The legislature felt the necessity of having an accurate report 
of the debates of this body, and they ordered the employment of a 
competent stenographer for the purpose. This necessarily embra¬ 
ced the employment of sucli assistants to the person so employed, 
as would enable him to take down and write out the debates for 
publication, within a reasonable time. The wisdom of the Legis¬ 
lature in making provision for a rcpoit of the debates, is manifest 
from the avidity with which works of this kind are sought after, by 
all who are desirous of informing themselves in relation to con¬ 
stitutional law, and the loss arid difficulty under which this body 
and their constituents labor, for want of the views and feelings of 
the members of the Convention of 1790; a correct register of the 
debates of that body, if they could be had, would tend much to en¬ 
lighten and inform the members of this body. For of the great and 
good men who were then assembled, but three yet survive—James 
lioss, Albert Gallatin and Thomas Bull; and of the doings of 
body, no record remains, save their journals and the fleeting remi¬ 
niscences cf the few surviving members, and of the few citizens 
who may have witnessed their proceedings, and are yet on the 
stage of action. The greitf object in having the debates taken 
and published, is to have the views of the members reported with 
accuracy. There are few men capable of doing this, and conse¬ 
quently, when found, thev require and ought to receive a fair and 
full compensation for their labors. The gentleman in charge of 
the reporting, has a known and established character for capacity 
in the line of his profession; and the committee are of opinion, that 
under the provisions of the act of Assembly authorizing the assem¬ 
bling of this body, his services could not, and if they could, ought 
not to be dispensed with. 

The Aext branch of inquiry, in relation to this subject, is the sub¬ 
scription to the Daily Chronicle, and the distribution thereof. The 
subscription was made under the following resolution of this body, 
passed on the 11th day of May last; “Resolved, That the Secreta¬ 
ries be directed to pay, as part of the expenses of this Convention, 
the cost of two thousand seven hundred copies of the Daily Chroni¬ 
cle and Convention Journal, in the English language, and one 
thousand copies in the German language, to be furnished during 
the sitting of this body, and to be divided among the members for 
distribution among their constituents.” 

In pursuance of this resolution, the committee agreed with the 
publisher of that work, for two thousand seven hundred copies in 


CONVENTION OF 1837. 


675 


July 12 

English, to be furnished daily at seventy-five cents per month, and 
tor one thousand in German, to be published daily at one dollar per ' 
copy per month. ^ Thus far, the editor has published a sheet daily, 
containing nothing but the proceedings of this body, and the obser¬ 
vations of the members on the various subjects under discussion. 
There has been published, most generally, abstracts of the debates, 
rather than full reports, and such was intended to be the course 
when the subscription was made. The work is about as accurate 
as works of the kind usually are. 

The publisher of the paper states, that relying on the faith of this 
body, he has gone to considerable expense, in order to comply with 
the contract on his part, and having done so, is unwilling to forego 
the advantage which he may derive from its continuance. Ought 
this body to put an end to this contract? Morally, we have no right 
to do so, without the assent of the other contracting party, unless 
such party has, by his own act, authorized its rescission; for, if con¬ 
tracts bind individuals, and they are compelled by law to comply 
with them, it would be out of all character for the body convened to 
establish the fundamental law of the land, to assume an arbitrary 
power of violating a solemn contract with an individual. It might 
be, that the individual could have no legal redress, and that would 
only point out the greater grossness of the act. The effect of such 
an example on the community could scarcely be anticipated; and 
not wishing to entail on this body, a character far worse than Punic 
faith, your committee are not willing to recommend any such course, 
more especially as the public money is well laid out in relation to 
this subject. It enables the delegates to keep their constituents day 
by day apprized of all our doings: it tends to enlighten, inform and 
instruct the good people of this great and growing commonwealth, 
in the principles of constitutional law: it calls their attention to the 
principles of government—-and will enable them, at the close of our 
labors, to come to a correct conclusion as to the result of onr delibe¬ 
rations, so as to vote intelligently and understandingly on the ques¬ 
tion of adopting Or rejecting the amendments we may propose. It 
is, in fact, day by day rendering to those who sent us hither, an 
account of the manner in which we have executed the trust com¬ 
mitted to our charge. Your committee cannot conceive that any 
reasonable amount of expense would be too great for such a purpose, 
or that money can be well misspent which tends to disseminate 
' accurate information among the public, in relation to the great and 
important principles on which the government ol our country de¬ 
pends. Believing, as they do, that the people have a right to be 
kept well advised of all that is done, and that as the subscription has 
been made, and the expense incurred, solely for the benefit of the 
public, and not for the benefit of the individual members of this body, 
and as all information received, shows that the intelligence thus com¬ 
municated is sought for with avidity, youi committee would not re¬ 
coin mend a discontinuance of the subscription even had they the 
power to do so.

Should the reporters for this paper and the editor, however, pros¬ 
titute it to party purposes, or make it the vehicle for partial repre¬ 
sentations of the doings of this body, it would be our right and our 
duty at once to discontinue it; for it was only taken upon the express 
condition, that equal and exact justice should be done to views of all 
the members. 

The committee recommend the adoption of the following resolu¬ 
tions : 

Resolved , That the services of the assistant secretaries, sergeant- 
at-arms, door-keeper, assistant sergeant-at-arms, assistant door-keeper 
and messengers, be dispensed with after the fourteenth instant. 

Resolved , That the committee be discharged from the further 
consideration of the other subjects referred to them. 

Laid on the table. 

Mr. Fry, from the minority of the committee to whom Avas refer¬ 
red the subject of the curtailment of the expenses of the Convention, 
made report as folio avs, viz: 

The minority of the committee to which was referred the resolu¬ 
tion of the sixth instant, requiring them to inquire into the expedi¬ 
ency of discontinuing the Daily Chronicle, and also what other ex¬ 
penses ought to be curtailed, report: 

That they have had the subject under consideration, and recom¬ 
mend the following resolutions for the adoption of the Convention. 

Resolved , That the Daily Chronicle be discontinued after the 
present session. 

Resolved , That the Secretaries are directed to request the differ¬ 
ent printers to Avhom six months subscription has been paid for their 
papers, that they be discontinued until the 17th of October. 

Resolved , That the two assistant Secretaries be discharged. 

Resolved , That the sergeant-at-arms and door-keepers and their 
assistants, be discharged. 

Resolved , That the two boys employed as carriers or runners be 
discharged. 

JOSEPH FRY, Jr. 

Laid on the table. 

A motion Avas made by Mr. Bell, 

That the Convention do now proceed to the second reading and 
consideration of the Resolution reported by the committee appointed 
to ascertain and report the most eligible place for the meeting of the 
Convention, and this morning laid on the table. 

Which Avas agreed to.

And the same being under consideration, 

A motion was made by Mr. Clark, of Dauphin, 

To amend the same by striking out all after the word “ resolv¬ 
ed,” and inserting in lieu thereof as follows, viz: “ That this Con¬ 
vention will re-assemble in the State Capitol on the seventeenth day 
of October next.” 


And the same being under consideration, 


A motion was made by Mr. Dickey, 

To amend the amendment by striking out all after the word 
“ that,” and inserting in lieu thereof as follows, viz: “ For the pur¬ 
pose of proposing amendments to the constitution, to be submitted 
to the people for their ratification or rejection at the next general 
election, this Convention will prolong its session one month beyond 
the 14th inst., and as much longer as may be necessary.”

The said resolution being under consideration, the same was 
modified so as to read as follows, viz: 

Whereas, the Legislature will be required to meet in this place on 
the first Tuesday of December next, and it is apprehended that this 
Convention will not have completed its labors by that date: And 
whereas, two bodies so numerous as the Legislature and Convention 
sitting in Harrisburg at the same time, will probably occasion incon¬ 
venience to the members of both bodies and obstruct their respec¬ 
tive action; therefore, 

Resolved , That a committee be appointed to inquire and report, 
first, whether it will be expedient for this Convention to remove 
from Harrisburg before the time for the meeting of the Legislature; 
and secondly, if it be expedient so to remove, then to ascertain and 
report to what place and when it will be proper for the Convention 
to remove. 

And on motion, 

The said resolution was read the second time, considered and 
adopted; and, 

Ordered , That Messrs. Cochran, Fleming, Cunningham, Riter, 
Hays, Scott and Young be a committee for the purposes mentioned 
in the said resolution. 

Agreeably to leave given, 

The Convention again resolved itself into a committee of the 
whole, Mr. M’Sherry in the chair, on the report of the committee

Nov. 4 


Mr. Cochran, from the committee appointed for the purpose of 
ascertaining and reporting to the Convention the most eligible* place 
for the sessions of the Convention during the sessions of the State 
Legislature, made the following report, viz : 

That they have given the subject due deliberation ; and notwith¬ 
standing tfieir earnest desire -to bring the labours of the Conven¬ 
tion to a speedy close, are unanimously of opinion, that it is 
impracticable to do so prior to the time of the meeting of the Legis¬ 
lature. Many of the important questions which have been agitated, 
have not yet been acted upon ; and it would be an ill return for the* 
confidence reposed in this body by the people of Pennsylvania, to 
pass upon any of the important principles contained in the funda- 4 
> mental law of the government, without a reasonable time for reflec¬ 
tion and discussion. 

That the people of this commonwealth will look to this body for 
full and satisfactory reasons for all the changes' proposed to the 
existing constitution, and are therefore not anxious that the Conven¬ 
tion should act unadvisedly and rashly, for the purpose of making a 
speedy disposition of so momentous a subject as is now submitted 
to their deliberation. t 

That your committee are unanimously of opinion, that it would 
greatly retard the business of the Convention, as well as of the 
Legislature, to remain in Harrisburg after the meeting of that bod}-*, ' 
and that the most eligible place for the Convention to assemble to 
finish their labors will be in the citv of Philadelphia. Your com- 
mittee therefore offer the following resolution, viz: 

Resolved , That this Convention do adjourn on Saturday, the 
18th instant, to meet in the city of Philadelphia, on Wednesday,, 
the 22d instant. 

And on motion, 

The said resolution was read the second time. 

And being under consideration, 

A motion was made bv Mr. Ileister, 

** * 

To amend the resolution, by striking therefrom all after the word 
“ Resolved,” and inserting in lieu thereof the following, viz : 

“ That inasmuch as an adjournment of this Convention to meet 
at Philadelphia, or any other place, would be attended with great 
delay and detention in the progress of its business, and a consequent 
increase of expense to the Commonwealth: and that therefore the 
adoption of such a measure would be inexpedient and improper. 

“ Resolved , That as it is not likely that the business of the Con¬ 
vention will be brought to a close before the time of meeting of the 
Legislature, when this body deems it right to leave this hall; and 


i 


JVoi\ 4 CONVENTION OF 1837. 725 

, \ 

in order that a place may be prepared for the holding of its sessions 
after that time, the Secretary of this Convention is hereby directed 
(under the supervision and advice of the President,) to have the par¬ 
tition between the Supreme Court and the east Commissioners’ 
rooms in this Capitol removed, and have the same, or some other 
suitable room in this place, furnished in a plain and cheap manner, 
lor the temporary occupation of this body.” 

And being under consideration, 


A motion was made by Mr. Fuller, 

To postpone the amendment, together with the resolution, until 
Monday, the 13th instant. 

And on the question, 

Will the Convention agree so to postpone?

So the question was determined in the affirmative. 

On leave given, 

Mr. Steiigere, from the committee for that purpose appointed, 
made report in part, as follows, viz: 

' That immediately after their appointment, they appointed Messrs. 
Sterigere and Scott a sub-committee to proceed to Philadelphia to 
make the necessary arrangements for the meeting of the Convention 
at that place. That the committee, on their arrival in the city, 
learned that the city councils had unanimously passed a resolution 
renewing their offer made on tire tenth of July last, to furnish the 
Convention with Independence Hall, or such other building as might 

65 



\ 


\ 




768 


JOURNAL OF THE 


Nov. 14 


be selected, at the expense of the city, for their accommodation: and 
appointed a committee with full authority to carry the resolution into 
effect, on their part. The sub-committee immediately proceeded to 
examine all the buildings in the city which were^supposed to afford 
accommodations for the Convention. After a careful examination, 
the committee selected “The Hall of the. Musical Fund {Society of 
Philadelphia,” on Locust street, between Eighth and Ninth streets, 
which in their opinion affords more suitable accommodation than 
any other building in the city which could be procured. This hall 
is about one hundred and ten feet long by fifty-six feet wide. It has 
two entrances for delegates and spectators, is lighted with gas, and 
will conveniently accommodate the delegates and officers of the 
Convention, and about five hundred' citizens. Appurtenant to the 
hall are two apartments, suitable for secretaries’ rooms and for com¬ 
mittee rooms. The city councils have commenced fitting up the 
hall under the direction of the committee, agreeably to a plan agreed 
upon by them; and the same will be prepared for the reception of 
the delegates by the 27th instant. 

The Musical Fund Hall is a very valuable building, and has been 
a long time in the charge and care of Thos. Jefferson Becket, ap¬ 
pointed by the proprietors, who are desirous the same shall continue 
in his care. Mr. Becket is a careful man, of obliging manners, and 
will make an excellent door-keeper. The committee think it would 
be best to' place the building in the care of an individual approved 
by the proprietors, and therefore recommend the appointment of 
Mr. Becket as door-keeper of the Convention, from the 28th in¬ 
stant.' 

The society offer to heat and light the Hall and rooms for seventy 
dollars a week** and the committee lecommend that the Convention 
agree to pay the Society that sum for the purposes aforesaid. 

The committee cannot conclude this report without expressing 
their thanks for the prompt attention and assistance received from 
the city councils in the performance of the duties with which they 
were charged. & 

The committee recommend the adoption of the following reso¬ 
lutions : 

Resolved, That when this Convention adjourn on the twenty- 
third instant, agreeably to the resolution heretofore adopted, it will 
adjourn to meet at the Hail of the Musical Fund Society, in the city 
of Philadelphia, on the 28th instant, at eleven o’clock in the lore- 
noon. 

Resolved, That Thos. Jefferson Becket be appointed Door-keeper 
of this Convention, from and after the twenty-eighth instant. 

Resolved, That the Convention agree to pay the Musical Fund ‘ 
Society the sum of seventy dollars a week, for heating and lighting 
their hall and rooms, occupied by : &ie Convention during its ses¬ 
sions.

following, viz: 

Resolved , That it is the sense of ..this Convention, that a charter 
duly granted by act of Assembly is, when accepted, a contract with 
the parties to whom the grant is made. 


A motion was made by Mr. Porter, of Northampton, 

To amend the snid resolution by striking therefrom all after the 
wojkI “ Resolved,” to the end, and inserting in lieu thereof the words 
as follow, viz: “ That the power to create banking corporations is a 
power committed by the constitution to the legislature of this com¬ 
monwealth, and that when exercised according to the forms of the 
constitution, a contract is created between the people of the State 
and the corporators, which it is not in the power of either party 
subsequently to impair, without the assent of the other. If the con¬ 
tract be violated by either party, redress is to be sought before the 
judicial tribunals of the country, which are competent to investigate 
and decide the subject; that the powers of this Convention are con¬ 
fined to the consideration of alterations and amendments to the coft-

stitution ot thi3 Commonwealth, to be submitted to the people. We 
have no power for other purposes : and therefore, the power to 
repeal charters, legally granted and accepted by the corporators, 
<loes not exist in this body, nor in the legislature of the Common¬ 
wealth.” 


And the said amendment being under consideration, 

A motion was made by Mr. Merrill, 

% 

That the Convention do now adjourn. 

Which was agreed to. 

Adjourned until nine o’clock to-morrow morning.

Resolved, That no member of this Convention, who holds stock 
in any bank within this pommon wealth, shall be deemed an impar¬ 
tial voter on any question in which the immediate interest of such 
delegate shall be involved, by any constitutional provision, either 
restricting or regulating such bank institution. 

Laid on the table. 

A motion was made by Mr. Clark of Dauphin, and read as f'ol- 
low&, viz: 

Resolvjed , That the President of the Convention draw his warrant 
on the State Treasurer,, in favor of Washington Barr, for eleven 
dollars, being a further allowance of fifty cents per day for twenty- 
two days service as assistant door-keeper. 

And on motion, 

The said resolution was read the second time. 

And being under consideration, 

A motion was made by Mr. Clark, of Dauphin, 

/ • 

That the said resolution be referred to the committee on ac¬ 
counts. 

Which was agreed to. 



804 ^ JOURNAL OF THE Nov. 21 

A motion was made by Mr. Fuller, and read as follows, viz: 

Resolved , That the Auditor General be requested to furnish this

persons holding stock in the bank called the United States Bank, 
chartered the eighteenth day of February, A. D. 1836. „ 

Laid on the table. 

Mr. Cope, from the committee on accounts, reported the follow¬ 
ing resolutions, viz: 

Resolved , That the President draw his warrant on the State Trea-

the sum of seven hundred dollars, to be accounted for in the settle¬ 
ment of their accounts. 

Resolved , That the President draw his warrant on the State Trea¬ 
surer, in favor of Daniel Barnes, binder of the English and Ger- 
- man Journals, for the sum of five hundred dollars, to be accounted 
for in the settlement of his accounts. 

And on motion, 

The said resolutions were severally read the second time, con¬ 
sidered and adopted. 

/ 

A motion was made by Mr. Scott, and read as follows, viz: 

Whereas, in the course of tb^p proceedings of the 20th instant, 
when the yeas and nays were called upon a resolution embodying 
very important principles, a large number of the members of this 
Convention, at that time in their seats, declined voting; and where¬ 
as, such a course, if persisted in, will and must effectually break 
up the proceedings of this Convention : therefore, be it 

Resolved , that a committee be appointed to inquire and report 
what this Convention should do, in similar cases, to assert its digni¬ 
ty and secure the continued performance of its duties. 

Laid on the table. 

The Convention again resumed the consideration of the amend¬ 
ment to the resolution offered yesterday, relative to charters. 

Being under consideration, 

The resolution was modified to read as follows, viz : 

Resolved , That it is the sense of this Convention, that a charter 
duly granted under an act of Assembly, to a bank or other private 
corporation, is, when accepted, a contract with the parties to whom 
the grant is made; and if such charter be unduly granted or subse¬ 
quently misused, it may be avoided by the judgment of a court of

justice, in due course of law, and not otherwise, unless in pursu¬ 
ance of a power expressly.reserved in the charter itself. 

The amendment was then withdrawn. 

The resolution, as modified, being under consideration, ' 

A motion was made by Mr. Earle, 

To amend the resolution as modified, by adding to the end there¬ 
of, the following, viz : “And when it may be found by posterity, 
that a charter has been hastily and unwisely granted, and is incon¬ 
sistent with the rights, the liberties or the happiness of the people, 
then the Commonwealth will have an inalienable right to alter, mo¬ 
dify or revoke si^h charter, in sucli manner as justice and the pub¬ 
lic good ni3y require, and upon the payment of such compensation, 
if any, as the corporators may justly and equitably claim. 

Agreeably to order, 

'I’lie Convention took a recess until three o’clock, P. M.

SAME DAY—2, o'clock, P. 31. 


The amendment being again under consideration,

Resolved , That it is the sense of this Convention, that the hanks 
of this CommonWealth having refused to pay their debts according 
to law, have thus violated the laws of the Commonwealth ; and that 
the whole banking system, as it now exists, is injurious to the best 
interests of this community. 

Resolved, That it is the sense of this Convention, that the bank¬ 
ing system of this Commonwealth ought to be entirely reformed ; 
the existing abuses of their privileges corrected ; and a remedy .sup¬ 
plied for the numerous impositions upon the public, through bank 
agencies. 

Which were laid on the table. 

A motion was made by Mr. Dunlop,

frqm incorporations not possessing banking privileges, for the year 
ending on the 31st October last.. 

I have also the honor to inform you, that statements in relation to 
the banks are in preparation, as well for the Convention as for the 
Legislature, and will be transmitted to each body so soon as they 

can be completed. 

I am not aware that any bank has not made returns, as reouired 
by law, duiing the present year, and, consequently, no steps have 
been taken to require delinquent banks to make returns. The Erie 
Bank did not make a return in conformity with the directions of the 
act of Assembly, for the year 1830, but forwarded a statement of its 
affairs on the 7th day of November of that year, a copy of which 
statement was submitted by the Auditor General to the Legislature, 
cu die 7th day of January last. 

I am, very respectfully, Sir, 

Your ob’t. servant,
